Inventory: Total homes listed for sale in November decreased 14% year-over-year from 674 to 580 listings. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) decreased from 5.4 to 3.6, reflecting a market where sellers generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in November was $160,000, an increase of 16.4% from one year ago and an increase of 14.3% to October. The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
