What this means for buyers
Prices are stable, not running away from you. The $200K to $299K range had the most sales this year, so expect competition for well-priced homes there.
Homes are selling in about 50 days on average, so you have a little time to compare, but the good ones still go quickly.
What this means for sellers
Buyers are active. Sales of homes priced $400K and up rose from 24 to 35 this year.
Still, 22 listings expired without selling. Pricing to the market from day one is what gets homes sold in today’s 50-day average.
