Why the current pace gives room to think
The question for a buyer is whether the current pace gives enough room to make a careful decision. In Moneta, VA, supply sat at 5.4 months last month, and that gives me a useful signal that there is still time to compare options.
Last month, supply stood at 5.4 months and the typical sale took 73 days. That combination tells me a buyer should still have room to think, but not room to drift without a plan.
I would use that time to compare condition, price, and how long each home has been active. A home that is lingering can create leverage, but only if the price and presentation support the conversation.
Compare active homes carefully.
Track how long each one has been listed.
Move when the fit is clear.
