School is official back in session here in Butts County, and it seems that everyone is getting back into their regular routines. Despite flat numbers in Jackson as a whole, I’ve personally seen activity increasing on many of my listings, as well as several buyers and sellers considering making a move. The decision to buy or sell definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation, and I’m always glad to sit down and go over the options.
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 are Flat
In July, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson was 32, holding steady from June. While this is double the number of days we saw during the same month last year, it is down significantly from the median of 60 days homes were spending on the market back in January of this year. In the current market, it has become more important than ever for sellers to have the right strategy in place to prepare, price, and position it in a way that stands out to attract buyers’ attention and help them to see all the home has to offer.
Number of Properties Sold are Flat
In July, the number of homes sold remained flat month over month at 30, while the number of pending sales decreased by 6 to just 21. With the local market always 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 Increased
Despite flat sales numbers & days on market, July’s median sale price actually increased to $285k from $271k in June. This increase represents the highest median price we’ve seen since March. Homeowners who wish to sell right now should be sure 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.
