It has been an eventful summer in the Jackson real estate market. Here are some of the trends I’ve observed over the last month:

Days on Market have Decreased Again

In June, the median days on market for sold homes in Jackson dropped for the 2^nd straight month, to just 12 days. While this is still a year-over-year increase from 6 days in June 2022, the gap is quickly closing.  The ongoing inventory shortage continues to put pressure on home buyers to act quickly when properties come available, and the steady decrease we’re seeing in median days on market is evidence of this. Limited inventory & decreasing days on market provide an opportunity for sellers with a strategic marketing & pricing plan to maximize their sale price and sell in the fewest days possible.

Number of Properties Sold has Decreased

Just 36 homes sold during the month of June 2023, here in Jackson. This is ten fewer than were sold in June 2022, and a month-over-month decrease of three.  Coincidentally, only 36 new listings came on the market in Jackson during the same time period, compared to 69 new listings in June 2022.  As supply remains low, those who chose to list their home can maximize their sale price by properly pricing and positioning the property to stand out in the market.

Median Sale Price has Increased

Following last month’s skewed median price data, June’s median sale price has increased to $280k, which is in line with the numbers we were seeing earlier in the year. This is also up slightly year-over-year from $279k in June 2022.  It is also interesting to note that the median list price for June 2023 was also $280k, resulting in a sales-to-list price ratio of 100%. This ratio is actually up year-over-year from 98% in June 2022, showing that the market is still strong for sellers.

June is here and so is the season influx of buyers into the real estate market. Mortgage interest rates are still high and inventory remains low. Read on to see what is happening right now in the Jackson/Butts County real estate market.

Days on Market have Decreased

In May, the median days on market for sold homes in Jackson dropped to 15, down from 28 days in April. While this is still a year over year increase from the median of 6 days on market we experienced in May of 2022, it’s far fewer than we saw throughout the 1st quarter of this year. This decrease is due in large part to the ongoing inventory shortage, which is motivating buyers to act quickly when new listings come available. Limited inventory & decreasing days on market provide an opportunity for sellers with a strategic marketing & pricing plan to maximize their sale price and sell in the fewest days possible.

Number of Properties Sold has Increased

Jackson had 38 home sales during the month of May 2023. This is just one less than the 39 sold during May of 2022, and a month-over-month increase when compared with the 34 sold in April. It’s also worth noting, only 39 new listings came on market in May 2023 vs 69 new listings in May 2022. As supply remains low, those who chose to list their home can maximize their sale price by properly pricing and positioning the property to stand out in the market.

Median Sale Price has Decreased

For the 1st time since the beginning of 2023, we saw a decrease in the median sale price for the Jackson market in the month of May. The median sale price for May 2023 was $240k, down from $260k in May 2022 & $295k in April 2023. However, average sale price was nearly flat at $280k in May of both years, showing more stability than is suggested by the median.

The spring real estate market is here, but it’s unlike any we’ve seen before. Buyer activity picking back up, properties are spending more time on the market, prices are still trending upward, but total closed sales are down. Read on for details about what I’m seeing here in the Jackson market right now.

Days on Market are Increasing Again

In April we saw the median days on market for sold properties in Jackson increase slightly to 28, up from the 25 days on market we saw in March. In the 1^st quarter of this year, we’ve seen days on market holding steady in the 20s, which is significantly longer than the single digit days on market we experienced in the 1^st quarter of 2022. As days on market continue to trend upward, it is increasingly important to have a strategic pricing and marketing plan in place to ensure your home sells for top dollar in the fewest days on market.

Number of Properties Sold is Declining

In April 2023, just 24 properties sold in the Jackson market during the month, which is down significantly from 37 sold in March 2023 and only half the number of properties that were sold in April of 2022.  This is due in large part to the shortage of new properties coming on the market. This year, we saw only 34 new listings come on the market in Jackson for the month of April, which is less than half of the 81 new listings we saw in April 2022. Last month it appeared that listings were beginning to pick up for the spring selling season, but these new numbers show us that is not currently the case. As supply remains low, it provides an opportunity to maximize your sale price by properly pricing and positioning your property to stand out in the market. 

Sale Prices have Increased Again

The median sale price in Jackson rose to $295k in April 2023, which is the highest median price we’ve seen all year. This is also a year over year increase from the median sale price of $269k in April 2022. Decreased supply is putting upward pressure on prices, even though properties are taking longer to sell. In this environment, it is increasingly important to make sure you’re using a data driven pricing strategy to ensure your property sells for the best possible price, getting you the return on investment you deserve.

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 Decreasing Again

In March, the median days on market for sold properties in Jackson was 25, which is down from the 28 we saw in February of this year. However, that’s up significantly from the median of 6 days we saw in March 2022’s frenzied market. As the market changes, a strategic pricing and marketing plan will ensure your home sells for top dollar in the fewest days on market.

Number of Homes Sold is Increasing

This year, 37 homes sold in the Jackson market during the month of March, compared to just 17 sold in February 2023. This number is down just slightly from the 39 sold in March 2022. This statistic is consistent with the typical seasonal increase we see as we enter the spring selling season. As more buyers & sellers enter the market, it is increasingly important to stand out above the competition with the right strategic plan, pricing, and positioning for your property and your goals, in order to attract more buyers and maximize your home sale price.

Sale Prices are Still Up

The median sale price in Jackson was $275k again in March, just as it was in February. Although this number remained flat month over month, it is still up from $265k in March 2022. With a year over year increase more modest than we’ve seen in recent months, a data driven pricing strategy is more important than ever to maximize your results and sell within your ideal timeline.

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 Increasing

Currently, the median days on market for the Jackson market is 28, which is up from a historic low of 9 days in February of 2022. As this unsustainable high level of demand has decreased, it is becoming increasingly important to have a precise strategy for pricing and marketing to ensure your home sells for top dollar in the fewest days on market.

Inventory is on the Rise

In February 2023, we had just 38 new listings come on the market, a decrease from the 50 new listings we saw come on market during the same period in 2022. Despite this decrease in new listings, overall available inventory is increasing as properties are taking longer to sell. As we’re seeing available supply catch up with buyer demand, it is further highlighting the importance of correctly pricing and positioning your home on the market from the start. This will allow you to get top dollar by standing out above the competition, rather than spending excessive days on market. With the right strategic plan, pricing, and positioning for your property and your goals, we can attract more buyers and maximize your home sale price. 

Sale-to-List Price Ratio is Declining

In February 2022, excessive buyer demand in our area pushed the median sale-to-list price ratio to 102%. As supply has begun to outpace demand, this ratio has dropped to 92% for February 2023. Sellers who have overpriced their homes are facing the realization of longer-than-ideal market times and the need for price reductions. When you start with an expert strategy, you can be confident you can sell for the highest possible price in the shortest time on market possible.
