A strong market still needs a disciplined launch if you want the best result.
If you are trying to decide whether this is a good month to sell, I would say yes, with one condition your price has to respect what buyers have actually closed on. Bethpage, NY is still favoring sellers on supply, but buyers are not agreeing to every number they see.
Supply in Bethpage, NY was 1.88 months recently, which places the market on the seller side. At the same time, the typical asking price for active homes was $887,000, while the typical sold price was $785,000. That spread matters because it separates market support from seller ambition.
As a seller, I would treat early pricing as your biggest leverage point. You do not need to underprice a good home in a low-supply market, but you also do not want to test the ceiling so hard that buyers move on to cleaner alternatives. Strong conditions create opportunity, not immunity.
Start with a price that can be defended by recent closings, not just current competition. Tighten presentation before launch, because buyers paying around or above asking are still comparing condition carefully. Plan for your first two weeks to do most of the heavy lifting, since newly listed homes over the last three months moved in a median of 8 days.
