The June median sold price ($340,000) was down by 1.7% year over year, and the average sold price ($368,723) was down by 3.5% over last year.

“Sellers need to concentrate on not only timing when they put their home on the market, but also when they stage, renovate, and repair their homes.”

The average days on market for June (31 days) was down by 31.1% over June 2018, and down by 11.4% over May 2019. This directly correlates with the increased number of month-to-month closed sales in the first statistic; when the days on the market goes down, the more sales you tend to see. Sellers need to concentrate on not only timing when they put their home on the market, but also when they stage, renovate, and repair their homes.
