- The price range continues to be fairly close from minimum to maximum sold prices. The net effect of that is average and median prices remain very close together.
- Very little was given by the sellers during negotiations, with less than 1% deducted from full asking price. However, that DOES often include some closing cost assistance for buyers.
- Homes needed an average of 4 weeks to go under contract, but the median point was just 8 days.
- Distressed property is totally missing from homes for sale and homes sold. NONE in May.
- New construction is still a sizable portion of homes for sale, with 24 new construction homes of the 61 for sale.
So what does this mean to you as a Morrow single family home owner?
STILL NO REASON TO CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH: Low inventory levels work to your advantage, just as long as you take into account the new construction competition. If you live in a community still actively building, that's a key consideration when pricing your home.
Overall, demand varies based on subdivision or rural location, home features, new construction competition, etc.
Buyer demand is obviously there based on the number of homes under contract. However, it does typically take longer to sell than other communities with an easier commute to Cincinnati.
