The Anniston-Oxford housing market is still competitive, but it shows some signs of cooling down. Homes are selling relatively quickly, and there aren't many available listings.
Right now, there are 293 homes for sale. This is 9.0% fewer homes than there were a year ago, meaning buyers have fewer choices. However, the number of new homes coming onto the market has stayed the same over the past year.
The median listing price for a home is $225,000, which is 4.7% higher than it was a year ago. However, this price has dropped by 1.9% in the most recent month. The average listing price has also gone up significantly, increasing by 14.9% over the past year to $309,504.
Houses are staying on the market for 52 days before going under contract. This is a bit longer than last year, up by 6.1%. Also, 17.4% of homes have lowered their price, showing that some sellers are adjusting expectations.
With fewer homes available and properties still selling relatively quickly, buyers should be prepared to make decisions. Sellers, however, might see some slight shifts in how quickly their homes sell or the initial price they can ask compared to earlier in the year.
