What Does this Data Mean?

There’s currently a 1.6 months supply of real estate inventory (homes available to purchase) in Johnson County. This number is down slightly when compared to statistics from this time last year for Johnson County. For the market to be considered balanced, there would need to be a 6 months supply of inventory available on the real estate market. With the inventory rate so low, this is considered to be a “buyer’s market” (i.e. there are more buyers than homes for sale).

What does this mean for home buyers?

Johnson County had 260 new listings in March, which is actually down by 53 units from last year’s 313. Greenwood had 158 new listings. This number is very slightly up from the 149 new listings this same time last year. When compared to stats from last month, new listing numbers are up as well. But, the overall low number means that competition is still strong for available homes in both areas.
