The latest pace numbers help me decide when action matters most.
If timing is the question, I would not guess in La Porte, IN. I would start with the pace of the market, and last month a typical sale took 33 days while supply held at 2.15 months. That tells me buyers and sellers still need a plan, not a rush.
A 33-day typical sale timeline last month gives both sides a useful baseline. In La Porte, IN, that pace is fast enough to demand preparation, but not so fast that there is no room to make a thoughtful move.
For a buyer, the key is to be ready before the right property is gone from the market. For a seller, I would use the same timeline to set expectations early and avoid overestimating how quickly a signed contract will happen.
My next step would be to line up the property, the pricing, and the timing before going live or making an offer. Then I would use the 96.3% sold-to-list result as a check on how much room there is for negotiation.
