I would chase fit and value together, because speed alone is not a strategy.
If you are trying to decide when a home is worth moving quickly on, I would not use excitement as the test. In Syosset, NY, the better test is whether the home fits your plan and looks aligned with what buyers have actually been willing to pay recently.
Over the previous 30 days, the typical sold price in Syosset, NY was $1,150,000, and homes that sold moved in 15 days. Recent accepted offers also reached 102.1% of asking, which tells me the right homes were drawing decisive action.
That does not mean every listing deserves pursuit. Homes still active were taking around 99 days, and 38 remained on the market at month end. I read that as clear evidence that buyers were selective and not simply chasing every available option.
Move fast only when the home's value, condition, and fit all line up. Ignore the pressure to react just because a listing is new. I would rather see you miss one house than force a decision on the wrong one.
