The biggest change this year

Eleven homes sold across two years — six of them in the past twelve months — while five are listed today, with one more under contract. At the recent pace that is about eleven months of supply, and the median home has sold for 91.3% of its asking price. Because a single year here is six sales, every figure on this card uses the full 24 months. Treat the median itself with care: it has just moved from $150,000 to $180,000 because one more sale entered the window and landed in a $90,000 gap in the middle of the range — no home changed in value. It is a marker of which homes traded, not of what homes are worth.

Where the supply is — and isn't

Sold counts cover 24 months; months of supply is measured against that two-year pace. Four of the five homes for sale are asking $200,000 or more, a range that produced five sales in two years.

Three things worth knowing

1. 1This is a buyer's market on the numbers. Five homes are listed against six sales in the past year, the median sale-to-list ratio is 91.3% — one of the widest gaps between ask and sale in this series — and five of the eleven sales over two years needed 60 days or more. The median home took 58 days to sell; the average was 95.
2. 2Two markets at very different prices. Detached homes built since 1970 sold at a median $269,500; homes built before 1970 sold at a median $97,500 and the two mobile homes at $56,000. Age and condition, not size, set the price here.
3. 3Listings that miss on price sit for a long time. Seven listings expired or were terminated over two years after a median 169 days, and some of today's five listings have already come off the market unsold at least once. The one home that relisted after failing sold for 85.7% of its earlier asking price after 448 cumulative days.
