What the sale numbers say about leverage

If you are trying to figure out how strong your position is in Waterford, NY, the sale numbers are the best place to start. The question is whether the market is leaving much room to push or whether you need to stay close to the asking price.
Last month, homes in Waterford, NY sold at 97% of asking, and the median sold price was $370,000. That tells me negotiations are still happening, but not in a way that gives either side unlimited room. For a buyer, I would focus on value and fit instead of assuming a big discount will appear. For a seller, I would make sure the pricing story is tight from the beginning so the home does not invite unnecessary resistance. Use the sale ratio as your guide. Then decide how far you can stretch, if at all. In Waterford, NY, the market is still asking for discipline on both sides of the table.
