Start with the current pace, then build your timeline around choices you can actually control.
If you are unsure whether to move now or hold off, I would start by removing unnecessary urgency from the decision. In Miami, FL, recent supply sat at 8.64 months last month, and that tells me you have enough room to build a better plan before you commit.
A typical sale took 61 days over the previous 30 days, recent offers averaged 95.5% of asking, and the typical closed price was $589,500. Homes going under contract were priced around $585,000, while active homes were asking about $620,500. Those numbers give me a workable picture of pace, negotiation room, and competition.
When uncertainty is the real issue, I look for what the market can settle for you. In Miami, FL, the answer is that you likely have time to compare homes or prepare a listing without treating every week as a final deadline. For sellers, that supports better planning before launch. For buyers, it supports stronger screening before an offer.
Choose your move date first and let that drive the rest of the plan. Cut your options down to the few homes or pricing paths that truly fit. Keep one backup path in place in case the first choice does not hold together. Clear sequencing lowers stress. It also improves decisions.
