I would set expectations around price, pace, and competition before you tour anything.
If you are trying to decide whether to start touring now or wait, I would get clear on price and pace first. In Southern Highlands, NV, a typical sale closed at $747,000 over the previous 30 days, and that gives me a practical starting point for judging what is realistic before you fall in love with the wrong house.
Over the previous 30 days, supply stood at 3.94 months, and a typical sale took 32 days. I read that as a market where good homes can still move with purpose, especially when pricing is close to the recent center of the market. That matters if you are comparing Southern Highlands, NV against nearby options and trying to avoid wasting time. Recent asking prices for new listings were typically $750,000, while active listings sat higher at $789,450, so I would expect a mix of fresh opportunities and sellers who are testing the ceiling. Build your search around the recent closed range first. Compare every home against the typical recent sale price, not just the asking price. Get specific about what you will compromise on before you book tours. Keep your financing and proof of funds ready so you can move cleanly when the right home appears.
