Recent closing terms suggest buyers need to be selective about where they push and where they stay strong.
If you're asking whether aggressive negotiating is still realistic, I would say only on the right listings. In Woodbury, NY, recent closings averaged 104.9% of asking over the previous 30 days, so buyers need to choose their spots carefully.
Recent closings in Woodbury, NY landed at about 104.9% of asking, and a typical sale took 17 days last month. Those numbers tell me the homes with strong demand are not inviting weak offers. For buyers, I would focus less on broad market emotion and more on listing-specific signals. Active listings were taking 45 days last month, while pending listings were at 64 days and newly pending listings were at 29 days. In Woodbury, NY, that gives us a practical framework. Some homes are clearly finding resistance, and some are clearly finding buyers sooner. Push harder on listings that have been sitting longer. Keep your best structure ready for homes that fit the faster recent closed pace. Negotiation should follow the evidence, not the mood.
