Inventory: June listings (202) increased 42.3% from May but declined 24.3% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) also decreased from 1.8 to 1.2, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in June was $225,000, an increase of 23.0% from one year ago and an increase of 12.5% from May. 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.
Homes sold in June averaged 25 days on the market (DOM), 47 days faster than June 2020.
