The better answer depends on whether your plan matches recent market conditions.
If you are asking whether to list sooner or keep waiting, I would bring the decision back to readiness and recent conditions. In Farmingdale, NY, sellers were still working with low supply recently, and that is useful. But it only helps if the home is prepared to meet the market cleanly.
Recently, Farmingdale, NY held at 0.93 months of supply, with 13 active listings and a typical active asking price of $750,000. Recent sold homes closed at a typical $730,000 in about 28 days. Those numbers support the case for listing, but not for launching half-ready.
I would not delay just to feel better emotionally, and I would not rush just because supply is low. The right move is usually the one where your prep, pricing, and timing are aligned. In Farmingdale, NY, a strong market can reward you, but it will not automatically fix a weak launch.
List sooner if the home is ready and the price plan is already clear. Wait briefly if a small amount of work will remove a major objection or strengthen the launch. Decide the strategy before you go live so the market sees a prepared seller, not a hesitant one.
