Shifting toward buyers

Inventory is Rising

New listings are up 14.89%, meaning more homes are hitting the market and buyers have more options than they did a year ago. This is a notable shift from the tight inventory conditions we saw in 2022–2023.

Prices Are Still Strong — But Slowing

The median sales price of $485,000 (+1.47%) and average sales price of $626,000 (+2.79%) show that prices are still increasing, but at a much slower pace. This reflects a more sustainable market dynamic rather than the rapid appreciation of recent years.

Demand Has Softened Slightly

The number of homes sold is down 1.7%. Buyers are becoming more selective — taking their time to evaluate options rather than rushing into purchases out of fear of being outbid.

Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell

With an average of 57 days on market (+3.68%), the "sell immediately" phase is clearly slowing down. Sellers who priced aggressively in previous years are now having to be more strategic.

Price Per Square Foot Is Down

A 4.1% decline in price per square foot is a meaningful signal. It suggests that negotiating power is beginning to shift toward buyers — particularly in certain price ranges and neighborhoods.

Bottom Line

  • The market is shifting toward a more balanced state
  • More opportunities are emerging for buyers
  • Pricing strategy is more important than ever for sellers
  • Total sales volume remains stable (+1.04%) — the market is still active
