The answer starts with pace, not guesswork.

The real question is whether you can move with the market or keep waiting for a better setup. In Arcadia, CA, a typical sale took 24 days last month, so I would plan around the pace that is already in front of me.
A typical sale took 24 days last month, and that keeps the timeline practical. I would not treat Arcadia, CA like a market where you can wait without a cost. If I were advising a buyer, I would narrow the search to homes that fit both the budget and the timeline. I would also compare each option to the recent sale price, not just the asking price. Get prepped early. Know the number you can live with. Act only when the value is still there.
