Inventory and contract activity in Strafford are both higher than a year ago in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are up sharply year over year, rising about two thirds to 23 homes, while new listings have more than doubled. Even with more options, months of supply has fallen by more than half compared with last year to 2.9 months, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers.
Pricing is showing mixed signals as supply and demand rebalance. The typical home value is slightly lower than a year ago, down about 2 percent, but median list prices are up more than 13 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices. Compared with three months ago, both sale and list prices have climbed around 6 percent in this rolling period, indicating recent deals have been closing at higher levels.
Pace of sales has shifted notably, with homes now spending a median of just 8 days on the market, about double last year’s speed but much faster than earlier this spring. Off-market-in-two-weeks activity remains brisk at nearly 63 percent, yet pending sales are up almost 39 percent from a year ago, showing buyers are still active despite changing conditions. With more listings, evolving price patterns, and Strafford still classified as a seller’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate this environment.
