- Demand & Activity: The pending ratio is 10%, indicating moderate demand relative to active listings. Homes are spending an average of 88 days on market (DOM) when active, but sold homes averaged 58 DOM, suggesting well-priced homes are moving faster.
- Pricing Power: Sellers are achieving, on average, 98.6% of their final list price at sale, and 96.2% of original list price. This means pricing competitively is key—overpricing can lead to longer DOM and potential price reductions.
- Inventory: Months supply stands at 2.9, which leans toward a balanced market but is still favorable for sellers. Low inventory supports pricing stability.
- Advice: To maximize sale price and minimize time on market, list near market value and be prepared for negotiations, as buyers are achieving slight discounts.
Buyer’s Perspective
- Negotiation Room: Buyers are getting homes for about 1.4% below final list price on average, and 3.8% below original list price, indicating some room for negotiation, especially if a property has been on the market for a while.
- Selection: With an average of 81 active listings and 8 pending, there’s reasonable choice, but competition is present in desirable price bands.
- Pace: While the average active DOM is 88, the average sold DOM is 58, so serious buyers should be ready to act quickly on well-priced homes.
- Advice: Have financing ready and move decisively on properties that match your criteria, but don’t hesitate to negotiate, particularly if the listing has been on the market longer than average.
Key Takeaway:
Hampton is currently a balanced-to-slightly-seller-favored market. Sellers benefit from relatively low inventory and strong sale-to-list ratios. Buyers have some negotiating leverage and choice, but should be ready to act quickly on the right property.
