AVERAGE SALE PRICE

MARKET TIME
Market time, that's the amount of time a home is on the market until it sells, has dropped dramatically. The average home in Geneva is on the market for 109 days, down -32.9% from last year.
COMMENTARY
Geneva has transitioned into a sellers market over the last couple of years. By looking at the number of homes for sale and how many are selling each month, we are able to determine the months supply of housing.
For example, if there are 10 homes on the market and 5 sell each month, we would have a 2 months supply of housing.
Geneva currently has a 4.6 month supply. The norm would be 5-6 months. This puts us just under that threshold and is good news for sellers as this means competition is scarce, demand is high and prices typically rise in this scenario.
This represents a huge change as two years ago we had an 11.8 month supply.
