Buyers are not very active in Appleton right now. Only 26 homes are currently under contract, which is a big drop from last year.
The number of homes going into pending status is quite low. There are only 26 homes with accepted offers, which means very few deals are being made. This number is significantly lower compared to the previous year, showing less buyer engagement.
The pending ratio, which compares pending listings to active listings, is 0.04. This means for every 100 homes for sale, only about 4 are going under contract. This ratio has seen a sharp decline over the past year.
Even though there are more homes on the market now, with active listings up by 104.4% over the past year, buyers aren't rushing in. This increase in choices hasn't translated into more sales.
Homes are also staying on the market a little longer, with a median of 40 days. This is a slight increase from last year, giving buyers more time to look around rather than making quick decisions.
For potential buyers, this might mean more time to find a home you like and potentially more room to negotiate.
