Inventory: April listings (138) increased 21.9% from March and increased 17.8% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) also increased from 1.4 to 1.9, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in April was $135,000, a decrease of 5.9% from one year ago and a decrease of 27% 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.
Homes sold in April averaged 22 days on market, 51 days faster than April 2021.
