For Sellers
In Jackson County, homes that sold in October spent an average of 39 days on the market and closed at 96.1% of their original asking price. With 2.4 months of supply the market still favors sellers, but buyers compare closely, so pricing right from day one matters. Buyers are more price-sensitive in late fall than in spring, so a correct price on day one matters more than ever.
