Recent supply and days-to-sale numbers say buyers can stay selective, but only if they stay organized and realistic.
If you are trying to decide whether patience still works, my answer is yes, but only with structure. Desert Shores, NV gives buyers enough room to compare, yet the recent pace still rewards people who are prepared to move when the right home appears.
Supply in Desert Shores, NV stood at 4.53 months recently, and a typical closed sale took 25 days while newly pending homes took 31 days to move under contract. There were also 24 new listings over the previous 30 days. That is a market where patience works best when it is active, not passive.
You can compare homes and think through condition, price, and layout without acting recklessly. Still, I would not confuse that with endless runway. In Desert Shores, NV, 16 homes also moved newly pending recently, which tells me the strongest options are still getting chosen.
Keep your shortlist current. Revisit pricing only against recent closings, not against your frustration level. Be patient in your standards, but quick in your execution once the right fit shows up.
