The 4th of July is behind us and summer is starting to wind down and many have begun preparations for the “back to school” season.
No matter the season, you deserve to get the best price for your home when you decide to sell. You & I both know you’ve put too much into your home over the years to leave money on the table. As you consider selling, you should have insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Read on for the top things to know about the Jackson area real estate market right now.
Days on Market have Increased
In June, the median days on market for sold properties in Jackson was 47, up slightly from 43 days in May. With days on market inching toward 2 months, it remains important for sellers to have the right strategy in place to prepare, price, and position it in a way that reaches as many buyers as possible. It is also important to set the right expectations from the start, and be prepared to be patient.
Number of Properties Sold has Increased
In June, there were 42 closed home sales in Jackson, up from 40 sales in May. During this same time period, the number of homes with a pending contract increased more significantly, from 29 to 41. Sellers should always make sure they’re working with a professional that knows the local market patterns and will ensure their home is priced & prepared properly to stand out among the competition.
Median Sale Price has Decreased
The median sale price in June dropped to $293k from $303k in May, signaling the end of the month-over-month increasing price trend we had been seeing. Homeowners who wish to sell right now should be sure to work with an agent who is monitoring the market to set appropriate expectations from the start, to maximize sales price while minimizing days on market.
