Inventory in Independence is relatively lean in this rolling three-month view, with 47 active listings and 2.7 months of supply. Compared with a year ago, active listings have fallen, even as homes sold have edged up about 7 percent. New listings are down year over year, which helps explain why supply has tightened despite solid closing activity.
Pricing has softened slightly while sales activity holds up. The typical home value is down about 3 percent from a year earlier, and the median list price has dipped modestly as well, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations to meet buyers in the middle.
Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market rising to 78 in this period, even though the share going under contract within two weeks is over 40 percent. Only about 13 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, indicating buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than in past years while it still leans toward sellers overall. With these mixed signals in inventory, pricing, and speed, local insight matters, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate today’s Independence market.
