At the current sales pace, all the active inventory on the market would sell in 2.2 months, up from 1.5 months in June and up 1.5 from 0.9 months in July 2021.

Pricing: The area’s median sales price in July was $221,000, a decrease of 6.0% from one year ago and a decrease of 7.9% from June.

ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
