With a median of just 7 days on the market, homes are selling swiftly, albeit showing a slight uptick of 7.7% from the previous month. This underscores the importance of acting decisively in today's competitive market environment, whether you're buying or selling.
Sellers rejoice! Home sellers are receiving, on average, slightly over their list price, reflecting a market where demand often outstrips supply. This figure, while a 1% decrease from March 2023, still indicates a strong seller's market, providing an excellent opportunity for those looking to make a lucrative sale.
The influx of 132 new listings represents a substantial 45.1% increase from the previous month and a 6.5% uptick from March last year. This surge in inventory bodes well for buyers, offering a wider selection of properties to choose from as they embark on their home-buying journey.
