"answer": "Buyers in Alma are showing some activity, but the market suggests a slower pace compared to the past year. There are fewer homes going under contract right now compared to the number of available homes.
Over the past year, the median listing price has gone up by 4.0% to $225,000, and the average listing price has increased by 2.1% to $252,392. This means homes are listed for more money than they were a year ago.
However, the number of homes recently listed for sale has dropped significantly, down 23.8% from last year, with only 32 new listings. Even with fewer new homes, the total number of active listings is up 12.6% over the past year, with 85 homes currently on the market.
Homes are also taking longer to sell; the median time a home stays on the market has grown to 49 days, a 24.4% increase from last year. More homes are also seeing price reductions, with 23.3% of listings cutting their price, an increase of 7.3% compared to last year.
The number of pending listings is 46, and the pending ratio is 0.54, which is down 6.7% from last year. This means fewer homes are going under contract relative to the total number of available homes, suggesting buyers are being more selective or taking their time.
If you're a buyer, there are more homes to choose from, and you might have more room to negotiate given the longer time homes are spending on the market and the increase in price reductions."
