A first-week touring plan based on recent pricing and pace
You're trying to decide what to tour first so you do not waste weekends on homes that will not close at the right terms. Start with homes that are priced close to where recent sales have actually been closing, and keep your timeline realistic. Speed is not everything.
If you only remember one closed number right now, make it this a typical sold price was $1,035,000 last month, and recent offers landed about 98.4% of asking. For context, a typical active listing was priced at $1,175,000, and a typical sale took 41 days last month. This changes your plan because touring is really pre-negotiation. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, when the typical list price sits above the typical sold price, I treat it as a cue to tour with a pricing filter you want to identify which homes are priced to move and which ones are priced to test the market, because the negotiation path will be different. Tour in tiers first, prioritize homes priced in the range that aligns with the typical closing level $1,035,000 last month, then expand upward only if the home's condition and features clearly justify it. Ask early about timing expectations, because a typical sale took 41 days last month, and your offer terms should match that reality. When you walk a home in West Hills, CA, take notes specifically for renegotiation risk repairs, layout compromises, deferred maintenance so your inspection plan is targeted instead of emotional.
