Recent supply gives you options, but not enough to count on endless replacements.
If you are waiting for a much broader set of homes to choose from, I would keep expectations measured. In Amherst, VA, recent supply was 2.75 months, which allows for some selection but not a wide margin for delay.
A recent supply level of 2.75 months in Amherst, VA means you do have homes to compare, but the market is not overflowing with alternatives. The market was also identified as a seller's market, and the typical sale timeline was 14 days last month. Taken together, that points to a search that still benefits from clear priorities and quick decision-making.
For someone buying, more choice may come over time, but the current numbers do not support a relaxed approach. Over the last three months, the activity summary showed 10 new listings and 10 pending homes, which tells me availability is still being matched by movement. I would stay engaged rather than assume a flood of better options is right around the corner in Amherst, VA.
Set your must-haves before the next round of tours. Keep a realistic backup list in case your first choice moves quickly. Use the pending and closed ranges to decide which homes deserve serious attention. Sellers can read the same supply picture as a reason to enter prepared, not overpriced.
