Seller Highlights from April in Gloucester County
Gloucester County sellers navigated a more measured marketplace in April. While the median price of $370,000 represented solid appreciation, sellers needed patience as homes took longer to sell. The increase in properties closing at list price from 17.4% to 21.1% emphasized the importance of accurate initial pricing.
Pending sales declined 16.5% to 401, indicating sellers faced a smaller pool of active buyers. However, those who priced competitively still achieved sales within a reasonable timeframe. The expanded active inventory meant sellers needed to ensure their properties stood out through staging, pricing, and marketing.
