I explain why not every listing gets the same response.

The main question is not whether there is activity, but whether every listing gets the same attention. Ballston Spa, NY says no to that, because last month supply sat at 1.21 months while new listings came in at a median list price of $469,000.
That mix matters. When supply is this tight and new listings are still arriving at meaningful price points, I expect the market to be selective rather than broad and forgiving. For buyers, I would be careful about waiting for the perfect setup. For sellers, I would focus on getting the first week right, because the market is giving a strong signal that presentation still carries real weight. Watch the most recent list prices. Keep your timing honest. Move with a plan, not on impulse.
