Executive Overview

The housing market in Cross Lanes, WV reflects a median sold price of $224,900, indicating a stable yet cautious market environment. With the median days on market stretching to 281 days, this suggests a slower sales velocity, potentially due to elevated inventory levels. The median listing price stands at $252,000, which presents a notable gap compared to the sold price, indicating potential pricing friction as sellers adjust expectations to align with buyer sentiment.

Current market conditions are characterized by a neutral temperature, suggesting a balance between supply and demand. However, the elevated days on market may indicate a shift towards a more balanced environment, moving away from the previously competitive landscape. Rental rates are also on the rise, with a median market rent of $1,250, remaining below the national average, which may attract renters but also points to a cautious approach from potential buyers in the market.
