The right move depends on how much space you need and how long you can carry the process.
If you are weighing a bigger move and wondering whether the numbers support it, my answer is yes only if you plan around both price gaps and timing. In Richmond Hill, NY, active multifamily homes last month had a typical asking price of $1,169,000, so moving up without a firm budget plan can get expensive fast.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this the typical sold price was $944,000 last month for multifamily homes in Richmond Hill, NY. Active listings sat at a typical asking price of $1,169,000, and recent offers landed near 90.1% of asking. That spread matters if you are trying to sell one place and move into something larger without losing control of the math.
This changes your plan because the timeline was not especially fast. A typical sale took 116 days, while recent supply stood at 6.33 months and the market sat in balanced territory. Build your move around a longer handoff, not around an ideal same-week switch from one closing to the next.
I recommend two immediate steps. First, map your maximum move-up payment against the typical asking range you are seeing now, not against last year's hopes or a casual online estimate. Second, decide whether you need sale proceeds before you shop seriously, because the recent sale pace in Richmond Hill, NY does not support a rushed sequence.
Some metrics were not reported for this period. What is clear is that upsizers need to protect flexibility. Tour with a short list of must-have space upgrades, and pass on homes that only work if every part of your timing lands perfectly.
