Right now, Altoona shows a dynamic market for sellers, with homes selling for more than they did last year. However, it's also taking a bit longer to sell a home and there are more homes available for buyers.
The median price for a home in Altoona is $169,950. This is almost 9% higher than the same time last year, which is great news if you're looking to get more for your property. However, it's down a bit, by 2.8%, from the previous month.
More homes are on the market compared to a year ago, with 205 active listings, up 6.8%. This means buyers have more choices. New listings have dropped, though, by over 20% compared to last year, with only 102 new homes added to the market in the most recent month.
Homes are staying on the market longer now, with a median of 51 days, which is up 7.4% from last year. This means you might need to be a little more patient. About 19.3% of homes have also had their prices reduced, though this is 5.2% less than last year.
In short, if you're thinking of selling, you could get a good price, but be ready for your home to potentially sit on the market longer with more competition from other sellers. Make sure your home is priced well and stands out.
