Last month, the typical sale took 13 days. That is a short window, and it tells me buyers need to be prepared before the right home appears in Brea, CA. I would not wait until you find the home to decide on financing, timing, or your price ceiling. I would line those decisions up first, because a fast market punishes hesitation more than it rewards perfect timing. Review your search criteria. Watch how quickly the better homes move. Be ready to act when the home fits your budget and your priorities.
