Inventory: June listings (163) increased 39.3% from May and declined 36.8% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) also decreased from 3.1 to 1.2, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in June was $175,400, an increase of 21.5% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.6% 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 64 days on market, 22 days faster than June 2020.
