Hudson, OH Housing Market Update - Q1 2023. How Much Do Homes in Hudson Cost?
2023 – First Quarter Housing Market Update – Hudson City School District There are all sorts of different houses available in the Hudson School District, with a wide range of sizes and features, but the average home sold in the Hudson School District continues to be a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sitting on just under 1 acre at approximately 2500 square feet. Although there are a few condo sales in Hudson, with only 3 sales in Q1 of each year, the overwhelming majority of homes sold are single-family residences. The number of single-family home sales in Hudson dipped from the first quarter of 2022 by 28%, but with a 6.5% increase in the median sale price, Hudson's sale prices continued to appreciate at a rate higher than the national average. Despite higher interest rates, limited housing inventory continues to push prices higher. Sellers continue to expect and ask for top dollar, but buyers have less purchasing power due to higher interest rates. As a result, homes are spending just a few days longer on the market compared to the first quarter of 2022. Unlike in Q1 2022, where Hudson homes sold for just over the asking price (102.7%), in Q1 2023 the average Hudson home sold for just under the final asking price (98.7%). All of this tells us that despite inventory being scarce, sellers are standing firm, but buyers are also being patient. When buyers do find the home they want, they are willing to pay for it – but not necessarily wildly over the asking price. Throughout Northeast Ohio, we’ve observed that fairly-priced, well-maintained, good houses in desirable areas continue to attract multiple offers over the asking price. However, properties with deferred maintenance or sellers with unreasonable initial price expectations are seeing less demand than we’ve experienced in recent years. We observe this in the Days on Market data, where ~40% of the homes spent fewer than 10 days on the market without a price decrease. Meanwhile another 40% of home sales aged on the market 50 days or more, with the majority of those having significant price decreases prior to selling. The number of homes sold in Hudson (42 sales in Q1 ’23) is similar to the number of homes sold in the highly desirable Hudson School District (38 sales in Q1 ’23), but it’s important to note that not every home with a Hudson mailing address is in the Hudson School district, and there are some nearby pockets in neighboring communities without a Hudson mailing address that are still apart of the Hudson School District.
