Seller-friendly conditions help, but the edge still belongs to the home that enters the market ready.
If you want to know where a seller's real advantage comes from, I would not say it is the market alone. In Jackson Heights, NY, the edge still comes from being more prepared than the listings you are competing against.
The market recently leaned toward sellers with 4.33 months of supply, and the typical asking price for active homes in Jackson Heights, NY was $649,000. Over the last three months, 10 new homes came to market and their typical time on market was 47 days. Those numbers tell me the market is supportive, but not careless.
That is why preparation matters so much. When buyers have enough available homes to compare, the listing that feels complete from day one often has a better chance of standing apart. I would pay attention to condition, photos, layout flow, and price alignment before expecting the market to reward the home.
I would handle repairs and presentation before scheduling the launch. I would also study the newest competing listings in Jackson Heights, NY so your price and positioning are both grounded in current reality. Your edge should be visible before the first showing ever happens. That is the standard I recommend.
