A fast market rewards buyers who decide before they fall in love
You're trying to decide how to tour without getting emotionally hijacked. In Midlothian, VA, I recommend a simple discipline decide your top criteria first, because the recent closing pace does not leave room for long deliberation.
Here is the signal I build touring plans around a typical sale took 21 days last month in Midlothian, VA, and supply stood at 1.38 months recently. That matters because low supply compresses your choices, and the short timeline compresses your decision window. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even without every detail, those two numbers support a process that filters hard before you ever get to the front door. Write down your deal-breakers and your must-haves before you tour, and commit to them. Schedule tours tightly and be ready to act, because a typical sale took 21 days last month in Midlothian, VA. If you keep getting outbid, expand your search criteria in a controlled way rather than chasing every listing in a 1.38-month supply environment.
