🔍 What It Means
It’s clear that more sellers entered the ring in April. But while listing activity exploded, buyer demand didn’t quite keep up. The result? Homes are sitting longer, and sellers aren’t quite hitting full asking price.
We’re inching closer to a balanced market, especially with 5.4 months of inventory now available. That’s a notable shift from the tighter market of a year ago.
🏠 For Sellers:
Yes, home values are up month over month, but down from April of 2024. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to get bold with pricing. With inventory stacking up and homes taking nearly four months to sell, buyers have options—and time. Clean, staged, well-priced listings will still move, but overpricing could lead to crickets.
🛍️ For Buyers:
The upside? You finally have choices in Stayton. And time to actually think before writing an offer. While prices are up year-over-year, the slowdown in $/sqft and longer market times could open the door to negotiation.
🌼 Final Word: Stayton’s Spring Shake-Up
This market is shifting—but not in one clear direction. If you’re planning a move, the key is knowing how to navigate the in-between. It’s not 2021… and it’s not 2008 either. It’s Stayton, in spring 2025—quirky, competitive, and full of opportunity if you know where to look.
