The market pace gives enough room to think, but not enough room to drift
If you are trying to decide when to stop looking and move on a home in Menifee, CA, I would use the recent pace as your guide. A typical sale took 50 days last month, which tells me you have enough room to think clearly, but not enough room to delay every good option.
That is why structure matters. In Menifee, CA, the typical sale timeline was 50 days over the previous 30 days, and supply stood at 2.06 months, so the market still asks for timely decisions when a solid property appears.
I do not see that as pressure to rush. I see it as a reason to know your standards in advance. Once the right home checks those boxes, you should be able to move without reopening every basic question from scratch.
Set your walk-away points before the next property comes up. Decide which features justify acting and which ones do not. I would make the hard decisions early so the final decision gets easier.
