🏡 MARKET WATCH WEDNESDAY! 📊

The September market is showing a little movement this week! Here’s your latest LC Valley real estate snapshot:

⏰ 63 days average days on market
💰 $405,534 average sold price
🏠 222 homes currently on the market
📈 $419,250 median list price
🔑 605 homes sold since January 2026

👀 What do the numbers mean?

For Buyers: There are still plenty of opportunities, but inventory dipped slightly this week. With homes averaging 63 days on market, buyers may have some room to negotiate and take their time finding the right property.

For Sellers: Homes are taking a little time to sell, so pricing your home correctly from the start is important. With fewer homes available than last week and the median list price sitting at $419,250, a well-priced and well-presented home can stand out.

📈 One interesting change: 22 more homes have sold since last week, while the number of homes on the market dropped by 8. Definitely worth keeping an eye on!

As always, the overall numbers only tell part of the story. Your neighborhood, price range, and individual situation matter.

Happy First Day of School and Market Watch Wednesday!

This has been a busy summer, but the numbers are staying pretty steady. We did see a slight increase to the average sold price, but not significant enough for buyers to panic. But with the interest rates where they are, days on market are staying around the same mark with 63 days on average before they go pending.

One piece I'd like to share is if you are tight on funds or need help on your credit score, make sure to shop around to see what all the options are out there and all the programs you may qualify for. Don't let one "no" from a lender be the only person you talk to. I hear of many of these great programs and so please use me as a resource to point you in a new direction. And lenders please reach out about anything that could help buyers in this market!

Hope everyone has a great week and great start to the new school year!

📈Market Watch Wednesday! 🏠

Good news, homes are selling and more homes are coming on the market to keep inventory steady.

Bad news, (sellers) homes that are overpriced are sitting for months and (buyers) homes that are a great value go quickly and average sold price increased.

Key takeaways: Sellers, prep your house and price to sell (and be ready to make a few compromises to get to the closing table). Buyers, get that pre-approval letter and be ready to make an offer when your see "your" house hit the market. And everyone needs an agent on their side who has a finger on the pulse of this dynamic market.

Have a great week and stay cool out there!

Hey LC Valley welcome back to Market Watch Wednesday!

If you want to know how the market is doing, look at the data (and some basic math real estate math)! In last month we've had around 100 homes sale, and when we have been keeping around 200 homes active on the market and average days on market 65 days, that means we have around 2 months of inventory. Meaning we'd expect if there are no new homes listed we'd sell all of the homes in the LC Valley.

Now of course there are the variables of humans and their needs, interest rates, and the fact no one in 2026 is going to pay 300-400K for a shack like they did in 2021. But we are still in what is considered a seller's market, even if buyers have more power than they did 5 years ago (can you believe 2021 was 5 years ago!!!). So the market is still strong and we are still low on inventory to meet the needs of buyers.

Buy buyers DON'T fret, like I said, you have more power these days and prices aren't rising like they were. But this is why having an informed agent who is skilled in negotiations (👋) is really beneficial to help you navigate this current real estate landscape.

So call me or text if you want to start your real estate journey or questions about the market...or if you want to pontificate on if Mitch McConnell is alive or not. I have thoughts!

Market Watch Wednesday!

The good: Less days on market, homes sold are up. Median list price is down!
The bad: Average sold price is up!

So for my buyers: Be ready to move (have your ducks in a row), but homes a priced to sell and you need to know you might have competition.
For my sellers: List to sell and you should have your home sell. The competition is out there, but so are the buyers.

Video to follow!

Hey everyone! Market Watch Wednesday is making a comeback, thanks for those who have reached out missing my reports and take on the market.

Big news, is that things are moving, we've had 100 homes sell since last month! Our average days on market are holding steady at 68 days. So that means that if Sellers want to move more quickly, they are going to want to be more aggressive on their listing price and have them home staged to sell.

And buyers, this means that if the home is on the market for a bit, make an offer if you don't like the price. But our average sold price is higher and climbing, so make sure you are using data to back up your offer!

I'd love to hear if you find anything in these numbers surprising or if there is something you'd like to see. Video coming soon!
