The Athens housing market is showing some signs of cooling down, meaning it's not as fiercely competitive as it might have been recently. More homes are available, and they are taking longer to sell.
Right now, there are 318 homes for sale, which is a good bit more than there were at this time last year. However, fewer new homes are coming onto the market, with 24.0% fewer new listings compared to a year ago.
Homes are also staying on the market longer, taking a median of 76 days to sell. This is 33.3% longer than they did over the past year, giving buyers more time to make decisions.
The median listing price is $364,000, which has gone up 4.2% over the past year. But prices aren't climbing as fast as before, and about one in four homes (25.2%) have had their prices reduced.
If you're looking to buy, you might find more options and a bit less pressure to act immediately. Sellers might need to be prepared for their homes to stay on the market a little longer and consider pricing strategies carefully.
