There are many active buyers in Barnstable Town right now. Homes are selling quickly, and there's healthy demand for the number of homes available.
We can see strong buyer activity because homes are selling much faster than they were a year ago. The typical home is on the market for 49 days, which is nearly 12% quicker than homes sold over the past year.
Even with fewer homes for sale compared to last year, buyers are still putting properties under contract. There are 1,127 homes up for sale, which is almost 12% less than a year ago. However, the ratio of homes going "pending" (meaning they have an accepted offer) has jumped by nearly 26% over the past year, showing buyers are eager.
The median listing price is holding steady at $909,450. It's up slightly from the previous month and about the same as last year, which suggests a stable market where buyers and sellers are generally agreeing on value.
If you are looking to buy, know that competition is steady. Be ready to act quickly when you find a home you like, given how fast properties are moving.
