The median sale price of a home sold in the fourth quarter of 2023 in Macon County rose by $350, while total sales decreased by 13.2%, according to BlockShopper.com.

From October through December of 2023, 387 homes were sold in the county, with sale prices around $95,000. This is a 0.4% increase over the $94,650 median sale price during the same period in 2022, when there were 446 homes sold.

The U.S. housing market has soared in recent years, with its total value nearing $50 trillion in 2024. This is almost five times greater than the market's value in 2000.

“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
