What I would keep my eye on first.
I would keep the market simple sold price, active price, and supply. In Altamont, NY, last month's 1 month of supply and $502,500 sold price give me enough to make a clear call on how tight the market still feels.
Supply was 1 month last month. That tells me the market is still asking for a quick, organized response when the right home appears.
The recent sold price of $502,500 helps me judge whether a listing is positioned in line with actual demand. I would use that number to stay realistic and avoid stretching for homes that are not truly supported.
I would stay alert on new listings, compare each one against recent sold behavior, and be ready to move if the fit is right. In Altamont, NY, that is the safest way to stay ahead.
