The Alexander City housing market is showing some signs of becoming less competitive for buyers right now. While there are more homes available, prices have been adjusting downwards. It's a dynamic market with opportunities for careful consideration.
The median listing price for homes is $526,000. This price has dropped by 2.4% from the prior month and 6.7% over the past year, which suggests prices are cooling off. However, the average listing price has increased significantly over the past year.
There are more homes to choose from than there were a year ago. Active listings are up 15.1% over the past year, with 298 homes currently on the market. Also, new listings have increased by 50.0% over the past year, meaning more fresh options are continuously coming available.
Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, but not much. The median time a home stays on the market is 90 days. This is only slightly less than the prior year, so homes are still moving at a reasonable pace.
More homes are seeing price drops, which is good news for buyers. Currently, 20.3% of homes have had their prices reduced. This is up 7.6% from the prior year, indicating sellers might be more willing to negotiate.
For buyers, this could be a good time to find a home with potentially more choices and some room for negotiation. For sellers, it means pricing your home carefully and being prepared for it to take a little longer to sell than before.
