South Barre’s rolling three-month numbers show more homes available and a steady pace of contracts. Active listings are up sharply from a year ago, and months of supply has risen more than 150 percent year over year to 2.6, giving buyers more options than last year. Even with this added inventory, pending sales are still higher than a year ago, indicating buyers are continuing to move forward.
Pricing has inched up slightly over the past year, with the typical home value up about 3 percent on a rolling three-month basis. At the same time, median list prices are nearly flat year over year, suggesting sellers are not pushing prices aggressively despite the value gains. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up more than 50 percent compared with a year ago, which points to buyers having more time to make decisions.
Selling conditions are still tilted toward sellers overall, but the slower pace and higher supply mean negotiations have become more balanced. Only about one in five recent sales closed above list price, and the share selling over asking is down both month over month and year over year. However, an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent shows that well-priced homes are still commanding near-full offers. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local South Barre agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can guide them through each step.
