If you're selling in Union
Read the inventory line first. When few homes like yours are active, prepared sellers meet less competition and keep more leverage through the offer and inspection rounds. When fresh listings are stacking up, launch quality and evidence-based pricing decide who sells and who sits.
Union is one of the most requested areas we hear from buyers, especially families targeting newer homes. That demand means well-kept resales compete directly with new construction, and pricing them right against builder incentives is the local skill that matters.

Days on market is your decision clock: when it's short, strong homes take strong offers quickly, and your pre-approval needs to be ready before the showing. The fresh-inventory count tells you whether patience is a strategy or a tax.
Mostly newer construction: two-story family homes and ranches in planned subdivisions, larger lots than the river cities, and active new-build communities with builder options still available.
