⏳ Time on Market
Homes are taking longer to sell—averaging 55 days on the market, a 63.5% increase from last year. This indicates a shift in buyer behavior, possibly due to higher interest rates and affordability concerns.

🏆 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

📌 For Sellers:

Pricing your home competitively is more important than ever, as over half of homes sold below asking price.

With a longer average time on market, sellers should be prepared for increased marketing efforts.

Homes that are updated, priced correctly, and in desirable locations still have a strong chance of selling quickly and at a premium.

📌 For Buyers:

Buyers may have more negotiating power compared to last year, especially on homes that have been sitting on the market.

With a median price of $1,700,000, affordability remains a challenge, but rising inventory and longer days on market could present opportunities.

Interest rates and competition will play a key role in 2025’s market—acting early could lock in a favorable deal.

 

 

📣 Final Thoughts
