Timing clarity starts with the typical sale pace
You're trying to time a purchase so you can actually be moved in when you need to be. In Perris, CA, the clearest planning number is the typical sale pace a typical sale took 43 days last month.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days a typical sale took 43 days last month. In that same period, supply stood at 2.46 months, and recent offers landed about 100.1% of asking. The practical impact is that your timeline is not just about finding the right house, it is about how quickly the market can absorb a correctly priced listing. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even with that limitation, when supply is 2.46 months and offers are landing around asking, I do not treat "we can wait and see" as a risk-free strategy for a buyer with a deadline. Write your move plan backward from 43 days and add your personal buffers, because that typical pace is the closest thing to a scheduling baseline in Perris, CA. Tour with decision-ready criteria, not curiosity, since offers have been landing around 100.1% of asking and hesitation can cost you leverage. Keep your offer terms clean and easy to execute so your offer competes on certainty, not just price, especially when supply is 2.46 months.
