One number to respect from recent data is the typical closed price $390,000 last month. For context, the typical asking price for active homes was $469,000, and recent closings came in at about 98.9% of asking.
This changes your plan because your online search filters should reflect the difference between what sellers ask and what buyers close at. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Still, the evidence points to a market where you can be disciplined closed deals have not required automatic over-ask pricing, so your budget should be set by what you can actually close at comfortably, not by the highest list price you can stretch to.
Set two ranges before you tour a "comfortable" target based on the $390,000 typical close and a "stretch" target only if the home is clearly superior in condition or features. Ask listing agents early what has been done for maintenance and what is included, because your real cost is more than the sticker price. When you find the right home, write an offer that is clean and finance-ready, but keep your price discipline grounded in recent closings.
