Welcome back to Clarksville insider. I am your host Josh Atkins and you are tuned in for another one more Addition of our real estate roundup now every month We'd like to take the time to zoom in on what's happening right here in Montgomery County's housing market in the Clarksville Housing market instead of getting lost in national headlines and what's going on in San Francisco Florida and New York we are looking at what's going on right here in Clarksville, Tennessee Montgomery County and looking for not necessarily predictions I mean we may get into that a little bit but that's not the main goal the main goal is to give you information about what's going on right here locally now in the middle of all that we're trying to ask questions we're trying to ask what does that mean What does that look like and how did that look six months ago a year ago? And so to help you think about those trends We're gonna be looking at actual data. We're looking at numbers from the MLS directly from the MLS I just pulled them just got on real tracks and saying okay. Let's look at it so that you can see this is the goal Because you're probably in one One of these may be multiples depending on what you're doing, but you may be sitting in a house going man We've been here for a while just want to see how the market's doing You may be thinking about buying thinking about selling you may be renting going. Okay. This is our first House we want to know what kind of market we're getting into i'm not trying to talk you into doing anything I'm not trying to do that. I'm trying to give you as much information as possible so that you can make the right move when it's your time to do it. So grab your coffee, grab your whatever, probably a cold brew, maybe an iced coffee with the heat dropping in here in June, but grab whatever, settle in, and we're gonna take a look at what's happening in this community in Clarksville, Montgomery County real estate world this past month. So we are looking at mid-June right now. So here's how we're gonna do it. Mid-June, we are looking at going back to mid-June, May. What has been happening since then? So what we are going to do is we are pulling up the active listings. We're going to start here. We need to know what's on the market. So let's do that. As of right now, currently active on the market, we have 1,558 active listings. So what does that mean? How does that look? Well, two months ago, just a little context, two months ago in April, uh 1,861 active listings. So we are actually down right now, about 300 active listings. So there are less homes on the market, which is kind of skewing in a way that you might not have expected. An active under contract. So these are under contract, moving through that process. Right now, 686 under contract. Two months ago, we're jumping back. We're going to use April's numbers. We're skipping May, we're trying to get a little bit broader sense, so we're gonna use April's numbers here. 715, so there are less under contract and less active listings than there were even two months ago. right, so how does it look when we're talking about expired? These are the homes, expired or canceled, these homes failed to sell for any number of reasons. Sometimes they're just on there and they're just left. Sometimes they change prices and they still don't sell for whatever reason they've these listings have either expired or canceled and in the last 30 days we had 319 319 listings expire or cancel two months ago the April numbers 294 so we are up in expired and canceled listings now a year ago Let's let's put a little context in it here. Let's put a little let's put a little perspective. Okay, let's see what we got a year ago. And I've got some numbers from June, or May to June from 2025. So let's compare those two. Expired or canceled from a year ago, 401. So less than a year ago, but more than two months ago, 319. How about average homes sold in 30 days, in the last 30 days? Now again, we are looking at every price point. We're not trying to just pick out average sized homes. We'll get to that, what average sale price. This is just average homes that sold, or not average, sorry. These are just the amount of homes that sold in the last 30 days. 465. Two months ago, 368, so guess what? We are up in the last two months. Last June's numbers, 539. Must have been a good June last year, I gotta tell you. Because we're the same with the home sold and the expired, we are right in the middle. Right in the middle, we are more than two months ago, we are less than a year ago. Average days on market, now this is an actual average, not just. average days on market and I feel like I still say this every time but this is one I really like to pay attention to. How long does a home sit on average before it goes under contract? Two months ago, average days on market was 59. 59 almost two months as of right now average days on market with the homes that sold in the last 30 days 42 Down 17 That's a 20 % Improvement From a year ago, which was 35 so it's more than a year ago 20 % up, but it is way down from two months ago So homes are not, they're not sitting quite as long as they were two months ago, but just a little bit longer than they were a year ago. Average sale price to list price. What did it list for? What did it sell for? What percentage? So if it sells for 3.75, but it was listed at 3.90, that gap, that's what we're looking for. We're looking between the gap of what it listed for versus what it sold for. And in the last 30 days, home sold at 98.9 % of what it listed for. Two months ago, 98.6. A year ago, 98.8. Guess where that's going? Nowhere. It ain't going nowhere, Jack. It is staying. Right in that 98. High 98s. Almost 99%. So this market, whatever it is right now, we are still seeing homes landing above 98 % of what they listed for. Now average sale price, these are kind of tied together, average sale price. Last 30 days of a home in Montgomery County, $376,000.$376,000, the average sale price in Montgomery County. High, low, middle, I'm not doing the median, I'm just doing the average. Average two months ago, 348. You believe that? In two months, we've gone from 348 to 376. Now, a year ago, 349... That is right in line with the April numbers, but still way, way off from the June numbers. So last year's June fit more with the April's. 376. And so we had, let's see, I'm pulling these up here. Home sold in the last 30 days, 465. And so of those 465, the average was three. $176,000 up 20 almost 30 from two months ago average price per square foot 188 that's up from two months ago 183 and up from a year ago at 185 So just give them perspective. I know some of you are price per square foot people so that that's that's for you Average square footage of the sold homes. How big was the house when it sold? well The last 30 days average square footage of the sold homes, 2022. We have crested the 2000 square foot home on average. Two months ago, 1936, 1,936 square feet average of the homes that sold two months ago. A year ago, 1,917, we are up a hundred square feet from a year ago. Homes are getting more expensive just based on the numbers. This is not a doomsday prediction but just based on the numbers. Average sale price is up. Average square footage of the homes that have sold is up. Days on market is down. higher sale price, higher square footage, lower days on market. days on. days on market it's still my favorite it's my favorite out of all these I just love days on market because it can really tell you some things and so going from here looking at percentages and seeing that from last year to this year we are at a 20 % decline and expires and cancel 14 % decline from last year remember it was 539 homes sold it's a big June Big end of May early June. So we're down from that but days on market Is 20 % incline increase Get these abbreviations INC not incline increase So days on market is more than last year less than two months ago Sale price is up Almost 8 % square footage five and a half These are the numbers from one year to the next, last year to this year. So what does this mean? I don't know. Like first of all, I don't know. I'm not a predictor. I'm not going to say in a year from now, I'm not a projector. I'm not a predictor. I'm not some guy who's trying to cause you or push you to do anything. I'm trying to get you to know the numbers and understand them a little bit. And this may mean this. This has meant this. And the more numbers you have, the better. So these are not Zillow numbers. These are not realtor.com numbers that are trying to pretend like they're local. This is, I'm down here on Franklin Street in my office right now recording this. These are real local numbers. And so when you're looking at that going, okay, you gotta sift it through, you gotta take all those numbers, sift it like powdered sugar through and say, okay, based on my current situation and what I want to do in the next six, eight, 12, 18 months, I'm going to take these numbers and X. Maybe it's tune in next month. Maybe it's, oh, maybe we should call our trusted real estate advisor. Maybe, maybe you should tune in a little more and see if you found one here on the other end of this microphone. Okay, commercial over. Now back to just the numbers in general. The goal really is to keep you informed in your current situation. That's really all it is. Informed locally with good hard numbers. So if you're a seller and you're trying to figure out how much can we net, okay, we'll use the numbers and figure it out. If you're a buyer, Try to establish some trends. Okay, this is going up, this is going down. If you're a renter wanting to be a buyer, same thing. Figure it out. Base all of those decisions on where you think you wanna be in a year from now, two years from now. So with that, you can really get an idea of what your next small steps are gonna be. Plot your destination, figure out where you want to be, and then figure out where your next one step, two step, three steps are going to be. And hopefully these numbers have helped you figure that out. Now that officially wraps up this month, the May to June real estate roundup for Clarksville Insider.
