The Aberdeen housing market is quite competitive right now, with homes selling fairly quickly and prices still on the rise. Buyers are seeing fewer homes available, which adds to the competition.The median listing price in Aberdeen is $339,500, which is 2.9% higher than the previous month and a significant 34.5% higher than last year. The average listing price is also up, at $384,561, a 22.4% increase over the past year.There are fewer homes for sale now compared to a year ago, with active listings down 22.4%. This means buyers have fewer options to choose from. Even though new listings have stayed the same, the lower overall inventory keeps the market tight.Homes are staying on the market for 43 days, which is about a week longer than last year. However, this is still a quick sale time overall, and the fact that only 16.2% of homes are reducing their price suggests that most homes are selling close to their original asking price.For those looking to buy in Aberdeen, it’s important to be prepared for a competitive market and to act quickly when you find a home you like.
