A simple way to judge whether a home is worth the wait
If you are evaluating a home today, pace matters as much as price. In San Antonio, TX, the typical sale took 70 days last month, so I would treat every decision as one that needs patience and discipline.
A longer timeline changes how I advise clients. When homes are sitting long enough for a 70-day sale window to be normal, I want buyers to compare condition, layout, and value carefully instead of rushing because the property is available.
I also pay attention to the 98.3% sold-to-list relationship. That level tells me the market is still close enough to asking that overconfidence can cost you, especially when supply was measured at 5.42 months in San Antonio, TX.
Do not rush just because you can. Measure value against the asking price. Use patience as part of the strategy.
