I hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season so far. This past weekend marked the beginning of the Festival of Trees at the Historic Courthouse (have you been by to see the lights yet at night? They’re beautiful!) and the Downtown Development Authority’s Annual Christmas Market. I’m looking forward to the Chamber Christmas Parade coming up on Friday & the Ugly Christmas Sweater Murder Mystery Dinner at the Carmichael Mansion next weekend. What are you looking forward to in the coming weeks?
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.
No matter the season 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 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 Increased
In November, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson was 34, up from 31 in October. Despite this month over month increase, it’s still down 10+ days from September’s number. 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 has Decreased
In November, there were 22 closed home sales in Jackson, which was down from 25 in October. Fewer sales mean fierce competition for buyers, among the homes that are on the market. 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 Decreased
The median sale price in November decreased to $254k, down from $270k in October. 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.
