I would say yes when the fit is right and your numbers are already clear.
If you are wondering whether one more day of thinking could cost you the right home in The Fan District, VA, I would take that concern seriously. With a typical 24-day sale timeline last month and only 1.8 months of supply, delay can matter when a property genuinely fits.
The pace is not theoretical. Homes typically sold in 24 days over the previous 30 days, and supply stayed limited at 1.8 months. In The Fan District, VA, those conditions create enough pressure that hesitation can become expensive if you already know the home works for you.
I still would not let speed replace judgment. The typical sold price was $605,250, while active asking prices were $674,950, which tells me some listings may ask more than recent closings support. So the real question is not whether to move fast in every case, but whether this specific home deserves quick action.
Know your maximum before you tour. Decide in advance what must be true for you to write. Move quickly only when the fit and price both make sense. That is the balance I would protect.
