Buyers still have options, but recent pending numbers show that the right homes are moving out of reach when they are priced well.
If you keep finding a home you like and telling yourself you will decide later, that approach can get expensive. In Desert Shores, NV, the market is giving buyers some breathing room, but not enough to leave strong options sitting untouched.
Last month, 16 homes in Desert Shores, NV moved newly pending, and a typical newly pending property was priced at $522,400. Those homes took 31 days to move under contract, while recent supply stood at 4.53 months. That is a reminder that good properties are still being chosen.
For a buyer, this is the balance I would watch you have enough inventory to compare carefully, but not enough to assume the best property will still be there after too many extra weekends. With 24 new listings entering Desert Shores, NV recently, the market is active enough to reward preparation.
Get financing and your decision criteria settled before you start serious touring. Compare top options quickly and on the same terms. When a home checks the boxes and the price holds up, stop shopping in circles and act.
