We are preparing for the summer selling season at The Amy Nakos Group. We are looking to add approximately 10-15 listings in May and June. If other brokerages are also preparing to release new listings, we could see some great new inventory hitting the market soon. 

The market continues to hold steady and is experiencing continued pricing increases. When inventory increases in the spring, we will see days on market decrease and new properties will bring down the average days on the market. Don’t be fooled by that number indicating that properties are selling faster, it just means more properties have lower DOM, bringing down the average.

You will also see that absorption numbers (months of inventory) will increase as inventory grows in the spring before the selling season. Again, don’t consider the MOI as a hard and fast number since the summer selling season will determine the pace of sales. By October or November, we will be able to gauge the strength of the overall market with statistics from the summer. 

As for now, pricing and inventory are steady. We shall see what the summer brings!

Average Sales price (Trailing 12M) 

Median April:  $1,025,000, up from $1,006,000 in March – +1.88%

Line graph showing Summit County median residential sales prices rising from about $650k in early 2021 to over $1M by May 2024, with steady growth and brief plateaus mid-2023.

Average April:  $1,323,461, up from $1,309,992 ​​​​​​​in March +1.02%

Line graph showing average residential sales price in Summit County rising from about $0.9M in early 2021 to over $1.3M in early 2024, with minor fluctuations after mid-2022.

I also looked at Median and Average sales prices from April 2023 to compare year over year:

Median April 2023: $945,000

Median April 2024: $1,025,000

+8.46%

Average April 2023: $1,255,062

Average April 2024: $1,323,461

+$5.44%

These are still impressive appreciation increases given higher interest rates, and a post-COVID, slower marketplace. As I tell new prospective buyers, lack of inventory and almost zero room for expansion will keep pricing high. 

There are 435 Active Listings in April (obviously this changes day to day – just what the stats are showing).
