Cooling Sales but Rising Prices

The number of sold listings in July 2024 was 50, a slight decrease of 3.85% from the previous year. Despite fewer transactions, the market shows a strong upward trend in pricing.

The end-of-month inventory saw a rise of 12.20%, reaching 460 homes. This increase in available properties contributes to a months' supply of inventory that grew by 13.38% to 11.65 months. Such a balanced increase in inventory ensures that buyers have ample choices while maintaining a healthy competitive environment for sellers.

Average Days on Market

The average days on market for July 2024 decreased by 8.29% compared to last year, now standing at 86.58 days. This reduction in market time suggests that homes are being snapped up more quickly, reflecting a strong buyer interest and efficient transaction processes.

Pricing Strategies and Seller Insights

The average percent of selling price to list price dipped slightly to 94.10%, down from 95.61% last year. This slight decline emphasizes the importance of strategic pricing and effective marketing to achieve optimal sale outcomes.
