Really active buyers are not currently dominating the market in Akron. The data suggests a more moderate pace, with homes staying on the market longer and fewer new deals being struck. This indicates a balanced environment for those looking to buy.For every 10 homes available, about 7 are going under contract, as shown by the pending ratio of 0.73. This is lower than over the past year, meaning fewer homes are going under contract compared to the total available. Homes are taking 43 days to go under contract, which is a bit slower than last year.This means buyers have more time to look at homes and make decisions.The number of new homes coming onto the market is also down by 14.2% over the past year. Even with fewer new homes, there are 7.0% more active listings than last year, totaling 1,241 homes for sale.The median listing price is $233,750, which is 5.5% lower than it was over the past year. This shows that prices have softened a bit, giving buyers a potential advantage.About 20.5% of homes have had a price reduction, which is a slight increase from last year.This indicates that some sellers are adjusting their expectations to attract buyers.If you are buying, you might find more options and less competition right now, and potentially more room to negotiate on price.
