I would focus on the homes buyers actually closed on, not just the highest numbers still sitting around.
If you are debating your list price, I would keep the sold market at the center of that decision. In Syosset, NY, sellers had room to be confident recently, but the strongest lesson is still this buyers rewarded realistic value far faster than they rewarded ambitious asking prices.
Last month, a typical sold home in Syosset, NY closed at $1,150,000 and went under contract in 15 days. Recent offers reached 102.1% of asking, which is a strong result by any standard.
At the same time, homes still active carried a typical asking price of $2,181,500 and were taking about 99 days to move. I would not ignore that spread. It shows me that the market was supporting strong outcomes, but not automatically validating every price point sellers tried.
Use recent closed homes as your base case. Adjust for condition and position, but keep your launch rooted in what buyers actually accepted. I would rather create urgency with a credible number than chase a higher number after the first month goes quiet.
