Bradenton, FL housing market

Sellers in Bradenton are learning a hard lesson this month: price too high, and your home will sit. The typical home here is now worth about three hundred eighty thousand dollars, down nearly 5 percent from a year ago, and buyers know it. There are roughly two thousand homes for sale, so shoppers have real choices and no reason to rush. That shows up in the pace, with the median listing taking about 83 days to go under contract. Nearly 22 percent of active listings have already cut their price, a clear sign that plenty of sellers aimed too high at the start. And the gap is visible: the median asking price sits around four hundred thirty-nine thousand dollars, well above where homes are actually valued. If you are selling this summer, price to the market you have today, not the one from two years ago. The sellers who do are the ones actually closing.
