If the main question is whether the market is moving fast enough to change your plan, I look at supply before anything else. Last month, inventory stood at 3.82 months in Fayetteville, NC, which tells me this is not a frantic market.

I use pace first, because timing changes everything.

If the main question is whether the market is moving fast enough to change your plan, I look at supply before anything else. Last month, inventory stood at 3.82 months in Fayetteville, NC, which tells me this is not a frantic market.
Supply stood at 3.82 months last month. That level gives room for decisions, but it also means buyers and sellers need to be deliberate about timing and price. In Fayetteville, NC, that kind of supply tends to reward discipline. I would not chase a property that is outside the plan, and I would not price a home as if attention will last forever. Review the price range first. Then decide how much flexibility you have on timing, and make your next move around that answer.
