Really, it depends on your specific goals as a seller. Prices are a bit higher than they were a year ago, but homes are also taking longer to sell. If you are looking to sell, you'll want to price your home carefully. Average listing prices are up slightly, while median prices have seen a small dip recently. The median listing price right now is $170,000, which is 2.8% higher than it was this time last year. However, it decreased by 2.1% in the most recent month, so prices are cooling off a bit. Also, the median price per square foot is $114, showing a significant 12.4% increase over the past year. This means homes are holding more value per square foot than before. Buyers are still active in Altoona, with 152 homes currently pending sale. The pending ratio is 0.62, which is 53.2% higher than a year ago. This suggests that more homes are going under contract compared to the total available, indicating steady buyer interest. Homes are staying on the market longer now than they were last year. The median days on market is 50, which is 16.3% more time than a year ago. Also, the number of new listings has dropped by 14.3% over the past year, with 120 new homes hitting the market recently. This means there's less competition from new homes, but overall inventory of active listings is about the same as last year, at 246 homes. About 20.9% of homes have lowered their prices, which is actually less than a year ago. This indicates that while homes are taking longer to sell, fewer sellers are needing to cut their prices compared to the past. As a seller, pricing your home strategically and being patient will be key. If you're looking for a quick sale, you might need to adjust your expectations on price, but overall demand is still present.
