There's some good news for buyers in Bakersfield-Delano, as the market shows signs of cooling down. Homes are staying on the market longer, and many sellers are lowering their prices. However, there are still fewer homes for sale than last year. The median listing price right now is $409,500, which is about the same as last year. But more homes are sitting on the market for 53 days, which is 7.1% longer than they did a year ago. About 16.1% of homes have also dropped their prices. This is happening even though there are 4.5% fewer homes available than there were last year, with active listings at 2,157. Fewer new listings are coming on the market, too. Even with fewer homes, buyers are still putting in offers. The number of homes going into contract (pending listings) is 1,093. For every two homes on the market, one is going under contract, which is 5.0% higher than last year. If you're a buyer, these trends suggest you might have more room to negotiate and find a home that fits your budget, especially if you're patient.
