A quick look at pace before you make a move.
If timing matters to you, the pace in Northridge, CA is worth watching closely. Last month, a typical sale took 20 days, which means decisions still need to be made with purpose.
A 20-day sale timeline tells me the market is moving fast enough to reward people who are prepared. It also means hesitation can cost you the homes you would have considered a week earlier.
For sellers, I would make sure the first days on market are strong because that is where attention concentrates. For buyers, I would treat financing, search criteria, and property review as pre-work, not last-minute tasks.
Prepare before you react. Have your plan ready before a listing appears.
Move on homes that fit your budget and timing.
Keep your response window short and clean.
