A practical look at what matters before you act.
When a property decision is sitting in front of you, the key is knowing whether the market is giving you room or pressure. In Coventry, RI, last month's 1.41 months of inventory says there is still limited supply, which makes timing matter on both sides of the table.
Last month, supply stood at 1.41 months, and that is the first number I would pay attention to. In Coventry, RI, that level tells me the market is still lean enough that hesitation can cost you options, but not so tight that every move has to be made blindly. For a seller, I would treat limited supply as a reason to stay sharp on positioning and presentation. For a buyer, I would treat it as a reason to get organized early, because waiting until you feel fully ready can leave you reacting instead of choosing. Use the 1.41-month supply as your starting point. Decide your price range before you start touring. Be ready to move quickly when the right fit appears.
