Start with the pace of the market, then decide how much urgency really belongs in your plan.
If you're deciding whether to make your move now in Redlands, CA, I would base that call on timing and price discipline, not headlines. The market still favors sellers, but it is giving thoughtful people room to plan instead of react.
Over the previous 30 days, Redlands, CA had 1.98 months of supply, a typical closed price of $645,000, and offers reaching about 100% of asking. A typical sale took 65 days. That mix matters because it shows strong pricing support without the kind of pace that forces everyone into rushed decisions.
I see that as useful for both sides of the deal. Sellers can enter with confidence, but they still need a plan for a longer selling window. Buyers can stay active without assuming they must chase every home past its value. The market is firm, but it is still readable.
If I were buying in Redlands, CA, I would decide my budget ceiling before touring and stay loyal to it. I would also focus on homes whose asking prices make sense against recent closings. If I were selling, I would prepare for a full process and price the home to stay competitive through that timeline.
