A practical timing check for anyone weighing the next step.
Timing matters when the market is moving fast enough to punish delay. Last month in Irvine, CA, supply stood at 3.55 months and a typical sale took 16 days, so I would not assume there is unlimited room to wait.
Supply at 3.55 months gives me a useful timing cue. It tells me the market is active enough that both pricing and preparation still affect how smoothly a move comes together in Irvine, CA.
For a buyer, I would use that as a signal to stay ready and decide quickly when a home fits. For a seller, I would treat it as a reminder that the right launch window and the right price need to work together.
Watch supply and pace together.
Stay ready before the right home appears.
Treat launch timing as part of strategy.
