March Sales Summary Boone County: 📊🏠

Sales down 7% to 140

Median Price up 1.5% to $334,900

Average Price down 1.3% to $369,608

DOM up 28% to 59 days

Pendings down 4% to 211

Supply up 30% to 2.66

Fewer homes sold in March, mainly because fewer went under contract back in February.
Prices are kinda mixed — the average price dipped a little, but the median price actually went up.
Homes over $400k are slowing down, but under $400k? Still moving.
Homes are taking longer to sell — about 2 to 3 months on average now.
We’ve got more inventory (finally), but we still need a little more to hit a healthy market for spring.

Bottom line: ⬇️
If you’re buying, you’ve got a little more breathing room.
If you’re selling, pricing it right matters more than ever.

Scenes from fall 🍂

Every season I think “THIS is my favorite season” but transitioning to cooler weather from hotter summer months really does something to me!

I feel a shift in perspective and a surge of gratitude.

What’s your favorite season?

📄Appraisals are essential for homebuyers for several reasons:

1. Fair Market Value: Appraisals provide an objective assessment of a property’s value, helping buyers ensure they aren’t overpaying.

2. Loan Approval: Lenders require appraisals to confirm the property’s value aligns with the loan amount, protecting both the lender and buyer from financial risks.

3. Negotiation Power: If the appraisal value is lower than the offer price, buyers can use this information to negotiate a better deal with the seller.

4. Insight into Property Condition: Appraisals often highlight issues that need attention, giving buyers a clearer picture of potential repairs or costs.

5. Market Understanding: Appraisals can help buyers gauge the local market, informing their decisions based on comparable sales and trends.

6. Investment Confidence: Knowing that a property has been appraised provides buyers with greater confidence in their investment, minimizing post-purchase regret.

Overall, appraisals play a vital role in ensuring a fair and informed homebuying process.
