The Barnstable Town housing market is showing some signs of cooling slightly, but homes are still moving fairly quickly. You'll see a mix of competitive elements and areas where buyers might have a bit more breathing room.
The median listing price right now is $899,000, which hasn't changed from the prior month. However, this price is down 2.5% compared to the same time last year, suggesting prices have dipped a bit over the past year.
Homes are spending less time on the market, with a median of 56 days. This is nearly 12% faster than they were selling over the past year, indicating that properties are still attracting buyers relatively quickly.
There are 1,247 active listings available, which is a small increase of 3.1% compared to the past year. New listings also saw a slight bump, up 2.5% with 574 homes coming onto the market, giving buyers a bit more choice.
For those looking to buy, about 16.7% of homes have had a price reduction. This percentage is very slightly down from the previous year, meaning fewer sellers are dropping their prices compared to last year.
Overall, the market has homes selling faster than last year, but prices have eased slightly and there's a bit more inventory. As a buyer, you might still need to act somewhat quickly, but you could find some opportunities, especially if you're patient.
