April Market Trends for Medina and Gibson County

Looking at the statistics for Gibson County, average days on market is 49, which is actually up 8% from last year.  This means homes are staying on the market just a little bit longer than they were a year ago.  New homes to market is 60, which is 33% down, which also lends to homes sold, which is down 58%.  We don’t have enough homes on the market right now to sell, therefore inventory is lower and there’s fewer homes sold.  However, the median price has gone up significantly, 118%.  This median price in Gibson County is $135,000.  The reason why the median price is going up is because inventory is low and there’s fewer homes in the market – this means it’s a seller’s market and people can charge more for their houses.  

In Medina specifically, it’s a similar situation.  Homes on the market and homes sold are down, average days on the market is up just a smidge, and the median price in Medina is down 3% which is surprising to me considering the inventory levels that are on the market.  

If you’re listing your house, this means great things for you.  It means less competition – fewer houses to compete against.  This means that you’re going to be able to charge more per square foot.  Prices are going to be higher.  Medina is a very hot market because of the school system, a lot of people wanting to move into Medina so lower competition means a higher price for you.  

If you’re purchasing, YOU BETTER BE PRE-QUALIFIED!  The houses are not going to stay on the market very long.  So always get pre-qualified before you even start shopping for a house, know what you can afford before you start shopping, and your wish list.  For a list of lenders, visit my resources tab.  If you are considering buying a house, check out the my guide on the steps of a real estate transaction.
