What it means for sellers

Canton is still a seller's market. A balanced market usually has 4 to 6 months of inventory, and Canton has under 2. Well-priced homes are still getting offers in about 20 days.

But buyers have more choices. Inventory has more than doubled, and 35 sellers have cut their price so far this year. With mortgage rates above 7%, buyers are more selective — and overpriced homes are more likely to sit.

A quick way to ballpark your home's value

Multiply your home's living area by $437.

• A 2,000 sq ft home comes to about $874,000
• A 2,500 sq ft home comes to about $1,093,000

That's only a starting point. Your street, lot, condition, updates, and layout can move the number up or down — and online estimates often miss those details.
