How to see enough without wasting weekends
You are trying to decide how many homes to tour before you commit, and the wrong approach is endless browsing. In The Fan District, VA, I recommend a tight tour plan that forces clear decisions quickly.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous month supply was 1.07 months, and buyers generally landed at about 98.5% of asking. This changes your plan because limited supply means the best-fit homes do not stack up for long comparison shopping. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Pre-approve your top three non-negotiables before you tour, then reject anything that misses them on day one. Focus tours around price bands that reflect real closings, where a typical sale was $680,000 last month in The Fan District, VA. Move quickly when a home fits and your numbers work, because a clean, decisive offer often beats a slightly higher offer with uncertainty.
