I am sizing up whether the market gives you room to act or room to wait.
If you are trying to decide whether to make a move in Daly City, CA, the short answer is this the latest numbers still reward speed, but not careless speed. Last month, a typical sale landed at $1,175,000 and homes spent 16 days in the market, so I would treat this as a market where preparation matters more than wishful thinking.
Last month in Daly City, CA, a typical sale landed at $1,175,000, and the usual timeline was 16 days. That combination tells me the market is still efficient enough that hesitation can cost you the better opportunities.
For a buyer, I would keep my financing clean, my offer ready, and my decision timeline short. For a seller, I would pay close attention to price placement, because the market is not giving away extra time just to be polite.
I would move with a plan, not a mood. I would get prepped before I shop. I would price with discipline before I chase the market.
