Inventory: December listings (200) decreased 28.6% from November and increased 12.4% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) remained at 1.5 year over year, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in December was $235,000, an increase of 30.6% from one year ago and no change from November. 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.
