Recent supply and pricing give a clearer answer than most buyers expect.
If you are trying to decide whether to keep waiting for the right house or act when a solid option appears, I would not build this plan around a big wave of new choices. The recent numbers in Huntington Woods, MI show just 5 new listings and 5 active listings, which tells me selection stayed tight.
Here is the practical answer. In Huntington Woods, MI, supply remained limited over the previous 30 days, with 0.71 months of available homes, 5 new listings, and 5 active listings. Homes that closed moved in a typical 8 days, and recent offers landed at 102.2% of asking, so hesitation can cost you more than patience helps.
For a buyer, that means the better question is not whether more inventory is coming soon. The better question is whether you are ready to recognize value fast when it appears. The typical asking price on new listings was $439,900, while the typical sold price was $488,250, and that spread reinforces why I want buyers focused on fit, condition, and competition level on each property instead of assuming the asking price tells the whole story. Short version good homes are still moving fast.
Get fully underwritten before you tour seriously. Narrow your must-have list so you can decide without second-guessing every house. Review recent closed prices before you write, not after. Keep your offer terms clean and easy to understand. If you also need to sell before you buy, line up that timeline early so you do not lose flexibility when the right home hits the market.
