I would look at contract speed and new supply together before deciding whether to wait.
If you are debating whether waiting will give you a better shot, I would compare fresh supply with recent contract speed. In MacDonald Ranch, NV, 54 new listings hit the market recently, while newly pending homes typically moved in 27 days.
Newly pending homes recently reached 37 properties with a typical asking price of $425,000 and a typical contract timeline of 27 days. At the same time, new listings entered at a typical $612,000. For buyers in MacDonald Ranch, NV, that tells me the market is still producing movement, but buyers are clearly sorting value instead of buying everything in sight. I read that as a reason to stay prepared, not passive. If a home is well positioned, the recent 27-day contract pace shows it can still move quickly. But with 54 new listings entering the market, you also have enough turnover to avoid forcing a bad fit. Get your financing and search criteria organized before the next property appears. Compare every target home against the recent pending price level so you know when a list price is stretching. Keep your tour schedule tight so you can move fast when the right home shows up.
