The Aberdeen housing market is not very competitive right now. While homes are still selling, buyers have more choices and some pricing power.
The median listing price in Aberdeen is $399,900. Prices have held steady in the most recent month, but they are slightly lower over the past year, down 1.3%. This suggests prices aren't rapidly increasing.
There are more homes for sale now, with active listings up 11.7% over the past year, totaling 738 properties. However, fewer new homes are coming onto the market, with new listings down 14.6% year-over-year. This might slightly slow the growth of choices for buyers.
Homes are staying on the market for about 78 days, which is almost the same as last year. Also, more than a quarter of homes, 27.2%, have had their prices cut, an increase of 6.4% over the past year. This means sellers are often adjusting their prices to attract buyers.
For buyers, this means you have more options and a better chance to negotiate on price. For sellers, pricing your home well from the start is important, as many properties are seeing price reductions.
