Not every available home deserves the same level of urgency.
If you are trying to decide how quickly you need to act on a multifamily property in South Ozone Park, NY, I would not use one blanket rule. The better approach is to match your pace to the listing's position, because recent activity shows some properties moved quickly while others took much longer to tie up.
Over the last three months, recent new listings had a typical time on market of 13 days, while pending listings showed a typical contract timeline of 61 days. That is a wide enough gap to matter. In South Ozone Park, NY, it tells me that speed is selective rather than universal, so buyers who prepare well can move fast on the right home without rushing on every home. Supply also supports a more deliberate search. Over the previous 30 days, the market carried 8.33 months of supply, which puts multifamily property on the buyer's side of the market. A typical asking price for active listings was $1,140,000 last month. I would use that combination to stay alert, but not anxious. Get your financing and decision process ready before touring. Move fastest on well-positioned new listings that match your target range. Slow down on older inventory and use time to test whether the asking price still holds up against the broader South Ozone Park, NY field.
