Hey, Melanie! Usually, when someone says that you have a small window it means that you have an opportunity that needs quick action otherwise you might lose it. For example, if you talked with a realtor about buying a house, he might come up with some home deals that you are interested in. If you point out one home deal that stands out he might tell you that you have a short window on this deal. This means that you should consider purchasing as soon as possible, otherwise, you might end up losing the deal in someone else's favor.
