Recent pending and closed counts help show whether buyers are actually following through.
If you are trying to judge whether buyer interest is real or just talk, I look at contract and closing counts first. Over the previous 30 days in Greenlawn, NY, 5 homes went pending and 6 homes closed, which tells me buyers are still following through.
That is important because activity without closings can be misleading. In Greenlawn, NY, the recent pending pool also stood at 7 homes at the end of the latest period, with a typical asking price of $799,000. There is active movement behind the scenes. For a seller, I would use that to stay focused on execution rather than broad market chatter. A market with recent pending activity, active pending inventory, and fresh closings still rewards a listing that is presented cleanly and priced with care. Use recent closed and pending counts as your reality check. Price to compete with the homes buyers are already choosing. Let actual movement guide your timing and expectations.
