I would stay optimistic, but I would also stay grounded in the gap between sold homes and unsold ones.
If you are selling and wondering how much leverage you really have, I would say this enough to be confident, not enough to be careless. Syosset, NY gave sellers strong recent results, but it also made it clear that buyers still drew a hard line on homes that missed the market.
Last month, supply in Syosset, NY stood at 2 months, the typical sold price was $1,150,000, and recent offers landed at 102.1% of asking. A typical sold home moved in 15 days, which is exactly the kind of pace sellers want to see. Still, active listings were taking around 99 days, and the typical asking price among those homes was $2,181,500. That spread tells me sellers should feel encouraged, but not detached from what buyers are actually closing on. Use recent closed pricing as your anchor. Prepare for strong early activity, but build your strategy around real market acceptance. I would rather set expectations correctly at the start than adjust them after the market has already voted.
