The Barre housing market is showing signs of cooling off. Prices have dropped compared to last year, and homes are staying on the market longer.

The median listing price in Barre is currently $442,000. This is a 7.3% decrease from last year, and the average listing price has fallen by an even larger 15.1% over the past year. This means homes are listed for less money now than they were.

There are more homes available for sale, with active listings up 11.1% compared to last year. New listings also increased by 13.2% year-over-year. More choices for buyers can reduce competition.

Homes are taking longer to sell, too. The median time a home spends on the market is 60 days, which is 10.1% more days than last year. Fewer homes are seeing price reductions, though, with only 17.3% having their prices cut.

For someone looking to buy, this could be a good time to find a home with less competition and potentially more room to negotiate on price.
