A simple check on supply, demand, and your personal deadline
You are trying to decide if you should lock in a home now or wait and risk missing options you like. In Legacy, AB, I pressure-test timing with one number first 3.10 months of supply last month for total residential.
Looking at the latest numbers, the clearest signal was supply total residential months of supply in Legacy, AB stood at 3.10 last month, supported by 62 active homes and 20 sales over the same period. New listings were 26, and the typical sale timeline came in at 46 days. This changes your plan because months of supply is a practical yardstick for how much selection you may have while you shop and how quickly listings can be absorbed. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even without every detail, 3.10 months of supply paired with 20 sales gives me enough structure to recommend building your timeline around your must-move date, not around a hope that 'something better' will appear on schedule. Set a hard deadline and work backward choose your tour window, decision window, and offer window so you are not negotiating under stress. Make your short list tighter by staying inside the price band you can support, using the $644,500 typical benchmark price last month as a reality check for total residential. If you do decide to wait, be disciplined track how many homes you tour versus how many you would actually offer on, because 62 active options can disappear quickly when you are not ready to act.
