Recent sale timing shows why patience needs a real purpose
If you are leaning toward waiting before you make a move, I would ask one simple question first what exactly are you waiting for? In Woodhaven, NY over the last three months, a typical closed multifamily sale took 94 days, so delay should be a strategy, not just a pause.
Waiting can be smart, but only when the reason is clear. Over the last three months in Woodhaven, NY, 10 multifamily properties closed, and a typical closed sale took 94 days. That is a useful reminder that even when a property sells, the path is not always quick. For someone thinking about simplifying into a smaller next step, that timeline matters because your sale has to support the move after it. The typical closed price over the same period was $990,000, while the typical pending price was $1,194,000. I would take that gap as a prompt to prepare carefully and price with realism instead of assuming the market will meet you wherever you start. Build your timeline backward from when you want life to feel simpler, not from when you feel mildly ready. Use the current sale pace to plan around a longer process. Fix anything that could slow down buyer confidence before you list, because time lost early is hard to win back later.
