The short answer is yes, your home will likely sell in Albemarle. Many homes are finding buyers, but it might take a little longer than before, and the price might be lower than last year. The typical home in Albemarle sells for $347,450. Around 132 homes are currently under contract to be sold. This suggests that homes are still moving off the market. Homes are staying on the market for about 59 days before going under contract. This is similar to what we saw over the past year. More homes are for sale now, with total active listings up by nearly 30% compared to last year. This means buyers have more choices, so your home will have more competition than it would have a year ago. Even with more competition, more new homes are coming up for sale, which shows that people are still confident in listing their properties. About a quarter of homes have had their prices lowered. This suggests that some sellers are adjusting their expectations to attract buyers. For sellers in Albemarle, pricing your home competitively from the start is important. Be prepared for it to take a couple of months to find a buyer, and understand that some negotiation on price might be necessary.
