There are signs of competition in the Atchison housing market, but homes are not flying off the shelves. Prices have risen significantly, which is good news for sellers. However, homes are taking a bit longer to sell than they did a year ago.
The median listing price in Atchison is currently $232,500. This price has jumped quite a bit, increasing 21.6% just in the most recent month and 18.6% compared to a year ago. This shows strong demand pushing values up.
Homes are staying on the market for a median of 60 days. This is a little slower than last year, when homes were selling 6.6% faster. This means buyers have a couple of months to consider their options.
There are 40 homes actively listed for sale right now, which is a small increase of 9.6% from a year ago. New listings are down by 11.1%, with only 16 new homes coming on the market. This limited number of new homes helps keep the market active.
Only a small percentage of homes, 5.7%, have seen price reductions. This is slightly fewer than last year, which suggests most sellers are getting close to their asking price. The median price per square foot is $125, up 6.1% from a year ago.
For buyers, homes are more expensive, and you'll want to be ready to act once you find the right place. For sellers, demand is strong, but be prepared for your home to be on the market for a couple of months.
