Why the current pace still rewards careful decisions.

The question I would ask right now is whether you are ready to move with discipline. In Lynchburg, VA, last month the market showed 1.95 months of inventory and a typical sale price of $262,400.
That tells me buyers still need to be selective, but not frozen. When supply is near 2 months, I think it makes sense to compare each option carefully instead of rushing just because a home looks available. I would narrow the search before I widen the budget. I would also pay close attention to homes that are priced near recent sale levels, because that is where the strongest decisions usually happen. Stay patient. Stay ready. Use the pace in Lynchburg, VA to keep your search focused.
