The timing question matters more when supply is tight.
Timing is not a side issue in Niskayuna, NY right now. With supply still limited, I pay close attention to when a home enters the market, because the first days often shape how much room a seller or buyer has left.
Last month, months of inventory was 0.88 and the median sold price was $427,450. That tells me the market is still moving with purpose, and timing decisions should be made with that pace in mind rather than by habit.
For buyers, that means strong homes can move before you feel fully ready. For sellers, it means the opening stretch matters more than almost anything else, because a fresh listing still has the best chance to earn attention early.
Watch the first week closely. Be ready before the home appears. Use the opening window to decide whether the opportunity is real.
