Selling a home in Baker City right now presents some challenges due to prices being lower than last year, though there was a recent bump. Homes are also taking longer to sell.
The median listing price is $345,000. While this is up 4.1% from the previous month, it's down significantly by 16.9% compared to a year ago. The average listing price also shows a big drop, down 23.6% over the past year to $459,498, and the price per square foot is down 8.8% year-over-year at $204.
Homes are staying on the market longer. The median days on market is 80 days, which is 7.4% longer than it was a year ago. Also, over a quarter of homes, 25.7%, have had a price reduction, showing that buyers are looking for deals.
There are more homes available for sale now, with active listings up 9.8% compared to a year ago, totaling 123 homes. However, fewer new homes are coming on the market, down 16.7% from last year, with only 20 new listings in the most recent month.
Right now, fewer buyers are committing to purchases. The pending ratio is 0.25, which is a 2.5% decrease from a year ago, meaning for every 100 homes listed, 25 are under contract.
If you're thinking of selling, be aware that you might need to price your home competitively and expect it to take a bit longer to find a buyer than it did a year ago.
