Inventory: April listings (281) increased 7.3% from March and increased 89.9% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) increased from 1.3 to 2.8 year over year, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in April was $217,450, an increase of 14.5% from one year ago and a decrease of 12.2% from March. 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.
