Use the current asking range and limited supply to narrow your list fast.
If you are deciding how aggressive to be before you start touring, my answer is simple be focused, not frantic. Rego Park, NY had 3.5 months of supply recently, so I would walk in with a short list and a firm budget instead of broad curiosity.
Looking at recent closed-period numbers, supply in Rego Park, NY stood at 3.5 months, and active listings numbered 7 at the end of the period shown. That is enough selection to compare options, but not enough to wander without a plan and expect the right property to wait for you. I also pay attention to pace inside the recent three-month activity. One new listing was shown, while 6 properties were already pending and 6 had recently closed, which tells me the better opportunities in Rego Park, NY are getting absorbed by prepared buyers, not casual browsers. Get your financing and budget decisions settled before your first tour. Rank your must-haves so you can say no quickly when a property misses the mark. Tour with a decision framework, not just a wishlist.
