I would look at both recent closings and pending homes before deciding how fast to act.
If you are trying to figure out how quickly you need to move, I would avoid relying on one timeline alone. In Corona, CA, a typical closed sale took 42 days over the previous 30 days, while recent pending homes over the last three months showed a shorter typical timeline of 21 days.
That split is useful because it shows two parts of the same market. Closed homes reflect the full trip to the finish line, while pending homes show how quickly buyers are committing right now. In Corona, CA, I would use both numbers to stay balanced patient enough to compare, prepared enough to act.
The rest of the setup supports that approach. Supply stood at 2.78 months recently, and recent offers were landing at about 99% of asking. I do not see a reason for panic, but I also do not see a reason to assume every strong home will wait around while you think it over for too long.
Use the 42-day closing pace to plan your broader timeline. Use the 21-day pending pace to judge how serious your showing decisions need to be. Keep financing, pricing, and your decision criteria ready before the right home appears.
