Inventory: September listings (217) increased 13.0% from August and decreased 4.8% from one year ago. At the current sales pace, all the active inventory on the market would sell in 2.4 months, remaining constant from last month, and down 0.2 months from September 2022. The equilibrium point where buyers and sellers have roughly equal bargaining power is 6 months of supply.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in September was $209,950, an increase of 18.3% from one year ago and an increase of 10.5% from August. 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.
