A clear read on timing when the numbers are this tight.
If you're wondering whether to wait or move now, the answer leans toward moving with discipline. In Foster City, CA, last month finished with 1.4 months of inventory and a typical sale at 100.3% of asking, which tells me well-priced homes are still getting attention fast.
Last month, Foster City, CA kept a lean setup 1.4 months of inventory, a typical sale at 100.3% of asking, and a median sold price of $1,320,000. That is not a sleepy market. It is a market that still rewards clean decisions.
For a buyer, that means hesitation can cost you the house, not just the mood. I would watch the asking price carefully, compare it against the recent sold range, and be ready to act when a home is priced sensibly rather than romantically.
My advice is simple. Get your financing squared away. Decide your ceiling before the tour starts. Then move quickly on the homes in Foster City, CA that actually fit your numbers.
