I would focus on buyer behavior that is already visible, not on optimistic pricing stories.
If you are hoping for a quick and strong response once you list, I would base that expectation on the homes that actually closed or moved pending. In Guilderland, NY, six homes closed over the last three months and one pending listing moved in 3 days, so I would plan for serious buyers to act fast when the value feels clear.
The strongest clue for seller expectations is recent activity, even when the sample is small. Over the last three months, Guilderland, NY had 6 recently closed homes, and the pending property shown in the same period went under contract in 3 days. That tells me buyers are still making decisions, but they are not giving every home the same response. I would expect attention for a well-positioned listing and slower traction for anything that asks the market to stretch. Set your list price to invite action, not debate. Make the first showing weekend count with clean presentation and complete details. Watch buyer feedback closely in Guilderland, NY and adjust fast if the response is weak.
