An important stat to pay attention to is the average list to sale price. This shows how close the house sold to its original listing price. Over the last year, we have seen this percentage decrease meaning sellers are not getting as close to what they originally asked for.
What does this mean?
If you are looking to sell, this is the time to reach out to a REALTOR! Our inventory is still extremely low. Properties that are priced properly are still getting multiple offers and selling quickly. Pricing correctly is key to succeeding! If you have any questions on what your house is worth, reach out to us for a free market analysis.
If you are looking to buy, talk to an agent on where to start. Although inventory is limited, there is more room to negotiate.
We are in need of some specific inventory. If you have been thinking of selling anything fitting this description, please let us know:
-Mineral County homes in the $100,000 to $300,000 range
-Homes (especially with acreage!) in the $180,000+ range in Western Maryland and West Virginia
-Luxury properties above $350,000 in Maryland and West Virginia (acreage preferred but not necessary!)
-Fixer Uppers in the Cumberland area
-Investment properties like duplexes and apartment buildings
If you would like to talk to an agent about buying or selling, please reach out to Mountainside Home Realty at 301-722-0190 or email us at info@mdmountainsidehomes.com.
