Jackson Market Report – March 2025

March is here and spring is just around the corner. The weather is warming up & the real estate market should be too!

Our homes serve us well over the years, but as life changes, you might decide it’s time to move. The idea of moving into the home that fits your lifestyle now sounds appealing. But first, you know you want to maximize your sale price.

You’ve put too much into your home over the years to leave money on the table. As you consider selling, you deserve insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Here are the top things to know about the Jackson area real estate market right now:

Days on Market have Decreased

In February, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson decreased to 34, from 60 days in January, bringing them back in line with the number of days on market we were experiencing in the 2^nd half of 2024.  When selling your home, it’s crucial to have the right strategy in place to prepare, price, and position it in a way that stands out to attract buyers’ attention and sell quickly.

Number of Properties Sold has Increased

The number of properties sold in February increased to 29, up from just 17 closed sales in January. During this same time period, pending sales decreased from 31 to 20, as the pending transactions from the previous month closed and fewer new properties went under contract.  With the local market constantly changing, sellers should focus on making sure they’re working with a professional that knows the local market and will ensure their home is positioned in a way that reaches and appeals to as many potential buyers as possible.

Median Sale Price has Decreased

In February, the median sale price in Jackson decreased slightly to $257k from $260k the month before. However, when combined with the decrease in days on market and increase in number of properties sold, it’s unlikely that a downward trend for median sale price will continue. It’s important for sellers to work with an agent who is monitoring these shifts to set appropriate prices and expectations from the start to maximize sales price while minimizing days on market.
