Recent timing numbers show buyers are moving, but not every home is moving at the same pace.
If you are thinking about selling and wondering whether homes are still moving, the answer is yes, but only when the market sees value quickly. In Amityville, NY, a typical active listing had been on the market for 21 days recently.
A typical active listing in Amityville, NY had been available for 21 days over the previous 30 days, while a typical closed sale took 42 days. I read that gap as a reminder that initial pricing and presentation shape the first stretch of your listing, but the full path to closing still takes time.
This is not a market where I would chase the top number and hope the buyer pool sorts it out later. Active homes were centered at $649,999, and buyers who did close recently paid about 97.24% of asking, so strategy matters more than optimism.
Prepare the rooms buyers compare most closely online. Enter the market with a price that makes sense beside current competition. Plan for the first month of activity before you list, not after.
