Inventory: December listings (260) increased 0.8% from November and increased 89.8% from one year ago. At the current sales pace, all the active inventory on the market would sell in 3.6 months, up from 2.7 months in November and up from 1.3 months in December 2021. The equilibrium point where buyers and sellers have roughly equal bargaining power is 4-6 months of supply.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in December was $238,000, a decrease of 1.2% from one year ago and an increase of 3.9% 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.
Homes sold in December averaged 32 days on the market (DOM), unchanged from December 2021.
