It's a tougher market for sellers right now in Auburn-Opelika. Prices have dipped and there are more homes for sale, which gives buyers more choices.
The median price for a home is $405,858. This is down a bit from last month and also lower than it was a year ago. The average listing price is also down year-over-year by 5.9% to $502,987.
There are 1,010 active listings, which is a significant increase of 25.9% compared to last year. This means there are more homes on the market without enough buyers to keep up with the increased inventory. Homes are also taking longer to sell, sitting for a median of 56 days, up 10.3% from last year.
Nearly a quarter of all listings, 22.5%, have had their prices reduced. This is up 3.4% from last year, showing that sellers are having to cut prices to attract buyers. There are also fewer homes going under contract; the pending ratio is 0.16, down 4.6% year-over-year.
If you're thinking of selling, be prepared for a longer selling process and understand you might need to adjust your price expectations.
