Recent contract speed and above-asking sales leave less room for casual offers.

If you are hoping to test the market with a weak opening offer, I would be careful. In Schenectady, NY, recent numbers point to a market where solid homes have not been rewarding hesitation or low-conviction offers.
Closed sales in Schenectady, NY landed at about 101.37% of asking last month, while homes going pending did so in a typical 17 days. Supply was just 1 month, and a typical closed sale took 20 days. For a buyer, that is the clearest signal of leverage I can give from recent numbers. When deals are closing above asking and homes are moving into contract quickly, your offer strategy has to be realistic from the start rather than designed to see what happens. Know your ceiling before you write. Use clean terms where you can support them. Have your documents ready the same day. If a property misses key priorities, move on instead of chasing it emotionally.
