Carter County Real Estate Snapshot
New week, new data!
Let’s look at what is actually happening on the ground across our local MLS right now versus where we've been.
🏠 Active Inventory:
242 total active listings across Carter County (with 119 listings in Ardmore, 42 in Plainview, 24 in Lone Grove, and more spanning our surrounding towns).
✨️ New This Week:
16 fresh listings hitting the market over the last 7 days.
📆 Days on Market:
After peaking up near 66–67 days through late summer, average DOM has settled down closer to 52 days for October.
🔖 Median List Price:
Holding steady right around the $150K–$160K mark.
🐘 Let’s talk about the elephant:
Interest rates are hanging out in the mid-7s. Everyone remembers the magical 2%–3% rates of a few years ago, but if you look at historical norms, 6% to 8% has always been the standard neighborhood where the housing market actually functions normally.
The big difference today? Instead of an overly competitive frenzy where buyers are fighting over three houses, our local inventory is up to 242 active listings across Carter County.
Sellers are having to adjust, days on market are balancing out around 52 days, and buyers actually have room to breathe, negotiate, and get a fair deal!
Buyers can really come in hot with inventory to chose from without having to give up things like closing costs, home inspections and repairs!
