Inventory in Williams County has eased slightly, with 144 active listings in September and a modest year-over-year increase of about 3 percent. New listings, however, fell sharply, down 40 percent from August and nearly 30 percent from a year ago, which is slowing the flow of fresh options. Pending sales held steady month over month at 37, but closed sales dropped more than 20 percent compared with last year, signaling some softness in final deal activity.
Prices are adjusting to these shifts in supply and demand. The typical home value sits around $379,000, edging up a few percent from a year ago even as the median list price has declined roughly 9 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are pricing more conservatively to attract buyers. Months of supply has doubled over the past year to 3.7 months and is now similar to the statewide level of 3.8 months, moving the area closer to balance despite still being labeled a seller’s market.
Speed and bidding dynamics show a mixed picture. Homes are taking longer to sell than last month at a median of 26 days, yet they are still moving faster than a year ago, and about 30 percent go off the market within two weeks. Only about 10 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is roughly 97 percent, indicating buyers have a bit more negotiating room while sellers still achieve near-asking prices. Whether you are a buyer looking to capitalize on cooler conditions or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends.
