I would focus on selection quality, not just the number of listings available.
If you are trying to avoid overpaying simply because there are options on the screen, I would narrow the search by what buyers are actually choosing. In Southern Highlands, NV, 34 homes moved into contract over the previous 30 days, and that tells me demand is active enough to reward disciplined selection.
Over the previous 30 days, 34 homes moved into contract in Southern Highlands, NV, and those listings were typically priced at $673,750. At the same time, 51 new listings came to market with a typical asking price of $750,000. That tells me there is enough fresh choice to stay selective, but not so much that quality listings can be ignored. When contract activity is this steady, buyers who wait too long on the right fit often end up choosing from the leftovers instead of the best options. Build a short list from the homes that align with recent contract pricing. Eliminate the homes that are clearly stretching beyond recent buyer behavior unless they offer something exceptional. Keep your showing schedule tight so you can compare cleanly and decide with confidence.
