South Boardman Market Pulse: Strong Buyer Advantage
Demand is softer relative to supply and buyers have the most room to compare, negotiate, and wait for the right fit.
Pending ratio: 27%. About 2-3 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — a buyer's market. Most homes are still waiting for a buyer. Expect it to take longer and price to stand out. Homes that sold took about 68 days to sell, which is so-so.
