A smart launch is a calendar decision as much as a price decision.
You are deciding when to list because you need a realistic timeline from first showings to signed contract. The early answer plan around the market's recent pace so you can control the process instead of reacting to it. In Syosset, NY last month, a typical sale took 29 days.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this a typical Syosset, NY sale took 29 days last month. In that same recent period, the supply level was 1.97 months, and recent accepted pricing landed around 96.8% of asking. This changes your plan because your best leverage comes early, and your risk rises when a listing drifts. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even so, the 29-day typical pace gives you a practical scheduling tool you can work backward from your move date, and you can set response checkpoints that are tied to time, not hope. Pick your list date only after you have a week-by-week plan that assumes roughly a 29-day path to contract, then add your own buffer for your next step. Launch with terms and pricing that respect the 96.8% accepted pricing reality, because overreaching invites unnecessary days on market. Decide now what you will change if you are not getting the right traction early, since the market has shown a clear typical pace and you should not let a listing linger without a plan.
