The Astoria housing market is showing some signs of increased buyer interest, with more homes going under contract. However, buyers also have a good selection of homes to choose from, and homes are taking a bit longer to sell. This suggests a balanced environment where both buyers and sellers have opportunities. Across the region, the median listing price is $639,000, which is up 3.1% in the most recent month and 6.4% over the past year. There are currently 287 active listings, a slight decrease of 4.5% compared to last year. Even so, the number of new listings has gone up by 2.1% over the past year, with 98 new homes added to the market. Homes are staying on the market for an average of 58 days, an increase of 8.4% from this time last year. This extra time might give buyers more room to make decisions. About 20.5% of homes have had a price reduction, which is a bit less than last year. The number of homes going under contract (pending listings) is 87, and the pending ratio has risen to 0.30, an increase of 8.2% from last year. This increase in pending sales indicates that buyers are actively making offers and committing to purchases. For you as a buyer, this means there are still options available, and you might have some negotiation power since homes are on the market longer.
