The Athens housing market shows signs that buyers are indeed active. Homes are selling relatively quickly, and a small share of homes are seeing price reductions.
There are 927 homes listed for sale right now. This is a noticeable drop from last year, with 9.5% fewer homes on the market. There are also 194 new listings, an increase of 5.4% from a year ago.
Houses are staying on the market for a median of 72 days, which is slightly less time than last year, down by 2.4%. This suggests that homes are not lingering on the market despite the higher prices.
The median listing price is $385,625, which is 6.4% higher than last year and up 3.3% from the prior month. Only about one-quarter of homes, 25.4%, have seen a price drop, which is a smaller percentage than last year.
With homes selling faster and fewer price reductions, it seems buyers are motivated to purchase. If you are looking to buy, be prepared to act quickly when you find a home you like.
