Recent closed prices and listing ranges give buyers a better way to define a ceiling.
If you are worried about paying too much for a multifamily property in Forest Hills, NY, I would set your ceiling before the next showing. The current range is wide enough that buyers need a clear standard before they negotiate.
Over the last 3 months, closed multifamily properties in Forest Hills, NY had a typical closed value of $1,293,505, while the newest listings ranged from $960,000 to $1,698,000. One listed sale closed at $1,400,000 after 20 days, another at $1,640,000 after 51 days, and another at $1,075,000 after 82 days. That spread tells me there is no single shortcut here. Buyers need to judge each property on its own merits, because pricing and timing are not moving in one clean line. I would use the recent closed examples to define where value begins to thin out for the specific property you want. Set a hard ceiling before emotions get involved. Compare the home to recent closed examples, not just the seller's asking number. Do not let urgency set your price for you.
