Inventory: Total homes listed for sale in July increased 7.6% year-over-year from 367 to 395 listings. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) decreased from 4.9 months in June to 4.7 months in July, reflecting a market where buyers generally have decreased bargaining power. 

Pricing: The area’s median sales price in July was $240,000, a decrease of 4.0% from one year ago and a decrease of 0.6% from June. The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
