Use recent accepted pricing to decide how aggressive to be.
If you are about to write and are unsure whether asking price is enough, I would start with what recent deals actually did. In Clifton Park, NY, accepted pricing has been telling buyers to stay realistic.
Recent closed deals in Clifton Park, NY came in at about 102.58% of asking, while a typical sale took 8 days. The typical closed price was $381,000 over the previous 30 days. The message is not that every offer must blow past list price. The message is that a clean, serious offer needs to reflect the fact that many successful deals have been landing above asking in a market where homes are not lingering. Decide in advance where you are willing to compete and where you will walk away. Keep your search centered on homes whose price leaves room for a strong offer if needed. Move quickly when a property is well aligned, because delay is expensive in a market this fast.
