The accepted price matters, but so does how quickly homes are getting tied up.
If you are trying to figure out whether well-priced homes are still getting snapped up, the answer is yes, but not blindly across the board. Over the previous 30 days, 36 homes went into contract in Massapequa, NY, and the typical home that did so took 27 days, so prepared buyers still have opportunities when they act on the right listing.
Recent contract activity in Massapequa, NY shows 36 homes moved into pending status over the previous 30 days, with a typical asking price of $759,495. A typical home that went under contract took 27 days, and the typical asking price per square foot for those homes was $484.
That pace tells me selection is being consumed steadily. For a buyer, the opportunity is not in waiting for every home to sit, but in recognizing that a listing with the right price and layout can still attract prompt action without turning into chaos on every address.
Tour new options quickly. Narrow your must-haves before the weekend. Use the 27-day contract pace as your timing guide, and write from the property's actual value instead of chasing with emotion when the fit is only average.
