Fewer Tri-City homes were sold in April than in the previous month, even as the typically busy home-selling season gets underway, according to the latest data from the Tri-City Association of Realtors. 

The association reported that 267 homes were sold in April, down slightly from 271 in March. That’s the second lowest number of area homes sold in that month since 2013. 

The number of pending home sales also declined slightly from 360 to 355 during that same period. 

The average sold price increased to $486,600 but is slightly below the all-time high recorded in February at $487,300.  

The median home price climbed to $445,000. Average and median days on market also declined, to 50 days and 20 days, respectively, which is comparable to past Aprils. 

April’s mixed sales activity follows a March when the number of sales was the lowest for that month since 2015. The average sold price slipped to $479,500 after hitting a record high point in February. The median sales price dropped slightly to $430,600 and inventory hit the highest mark since last fall with more than 800 active listings.
