I would judge urgency by what is going pending, not by the loudest asking prices.
If you are asking whether homes are moving fast enough to justify acting now, I would watch the path to contract more than the listing chatter. In Southern Highlands, NV, homes that moved into contract recently took a typical 29 days, while the broader pending pool sat at 64 days, and that split is useful.
Recently, the typical home that went into contract did so in 29 days, with a typical asking price of $673,750. By contrast, homes sitting in pending status at month end had a typical market time of 64 days and a typical price of $650,000.
I read that as a market separating stronger listings from slower ones. The homes that connect with buyers sooner are likely entering at better price points or better condition, while the backlog includes homes that needed more time to get chosen.
Use recent contract pace as your benchmark. Move quickly on the homes that fit the faster pattern, and ask tougher questions on the ones that have lingered. In Southern Highlands, NV, pace is not uniform, so your strategy should not be either.
