There are some signs that selling right now might be more challenging than in previous periods. Prices have dropped and there are more homes for buyers to choose from. However, new homes are still coming onto the market. sellers are adjusting their prices.
The median listing price right now is $375,000, which is 0.8% lower than the previous month and 5.5% lower than one year ago. This means homes are listed for less money than they were recently.
There are 7,448 active listings, which is almost 20% more than a year ago. This increase in available homes gives buyers more options and can lead to more competition among sellers.
Homes are also staying on the market longer, with a median of 44 days, up almost 13% from last year. Plus, about one-fifth (20.3%) of homes have had their prices reduced, suggesting sellers are working to attract buyers.
Considering these trends, sellers might need to be prepared for more competition and potentially lower offers than they might have received in the past. Focusing on competitive pricing and making your home stand out could be key.
