Inventory: Total homes listed for sale in May increased 62.6% year-over-year from 235 to 382 listings. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) increased from 3.5 months in April to 4.0 months in May, reflecting a market where buyers generally have decreased bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in May was $223,990, a decrease of 20.5% from one year ago and a decrease of 1.7% from April. 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.
