The market still supports sellers, but price discipline matters more when supply expands.
If you are deciding how ambitious you can be on price, I would stay confident but not careless. Amityville, NY is still showing a seller-leaning setup, yet the recent mix of more active listings and lower closed prices tells me pricing strategy matters more than wishful thinking.
Here is the balance I would use. Recent supply in Amityville, NY stood at 2.2 months, which still points to a seller-leaning market, and active listings held a typical asking price of $649,999. At the same time, closed sales came in at a typical $430,000 last month, with offers landing around 97.24% of asking.
That combination tells me sellers still have leverage, but not automatic leverage. More inventory came online recently, with 33 active listings at month-end and 23 new listings over the previous 30 days. I would not chase the highest visible asking prices unless your home clearly earns that position on size, condition, or location within the homes currently competing.
Set your number against the current active field first. Review how your home stacks up on size, especially when recent new listings averaged about 1,657 square feet and active homes were around 1,652 square feet. In Amityville, NY, I would also plan for a strong opening window rather than relying on later price cuts to rescue interest.
