Jackson Market Report – November 2024

As we head into the holiday season, available home inventory continues to increase slightly while prices have shown another slight decrease month-over-month. This is typical for this time of year. In addition, these numbers are trending in the same way year-over-year, signaling a shift from the low inventory seller’s market we’ve experienced in recent years.

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 Increased

In October, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson increased from 28 to 53. This is by far, the highest number we’ve seen in 3+ years. 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 October increased to 28 vs just 24 in September. However, for the same period, pending sales also decreased from 34 to 30. Meanwhile, the number of new listings coming on the market increased from 47 to 59. This resulted in a net decrease in the number of months of available supply here in our area. 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 Increased

In October, the median sale price in Jackson moved slightly upward, from $272k to $276k. During this same period, the median list price also increased a little, from $276k to $278k. This resulted in homes selling for 99% of their list price. 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.
