It looks like buyers are still active in Baker City, but homes are taking longer to sell. The number of homes going under contract is holding steady despite more homes being available. Right now, there are 118 homes for sale, which is almost 10% more than this time last year. However, new homes coming onto the market are down a bit, with 20 new listings, nearly 10% fewer than a year ago. Homes in Baker City are staying on the market longer before finding a buyer. The median time a home spends for sale is 99 days, which is a significant increase of over 28% compared to last year. Despite the longer selling times, 35 homes recently went under contract. This means about 29% of all available homes are in the process of being sold, which is only a small drop from last year. For you, this means there are more choices if you're buying, but sellers might need more patience as homes are taking longer to find the right buyer.
