• The median sales price in January was at $257,000
• The number of units sold increased 2% year over year, and decreased 30% month over month

What does this mean for you?

Buyers, this recent increase in number of active listings reflects a larger selection of homes for buyers to choose from. The increase in the number of units sold is a plus for buyers. Higher year over year figures indicate more buyers were able to find what they were looking for compared to the previous year.

Sellers, the decrease in the number of active listings year over year means that there is less competition in the market. The average number of days home spent on the market decreased from 67 days last year to 42 days this January. This lower number of days signals a positive trend in the local inventory turnover rate! Sellers are able to sell their home faster than before. The number of homes sold decreasing month over month could be an opportunity for buyers to negotiate better terms.
