Supply Gauge
Inventory Stabilizing
Inventory levels are stabilizing relative to the pace of sales, with months of inventory indicating a more balanced market environment where supply and demand are more aligned.
Selective but Active
Buyers remain engaged, particularly in entry-level and mid-range price points, but are becoming more selective as pricing and condition continue to influence decision-making.
Negotiation Still Present
With homes averaging around 95% of list price, buyers are continuing to negotiate, especially on properties that are not aligned with current market expectations.

Tip of the Week for Sellers: Driving Early Buyer Activity.
The first few days on the market are the most important. This is when your home receives the highest level of exposure and attracts the most serious buyers.
Generating strong interest early can create momentum, leading to better offers and less time on market. If activity is slow in the first couple of weeks, it may signal that adjustments to pricing or presentation are needed.
Positioning your home correctly from day one helps maximize visibility and gives you the best chance at a successful sale.

This past week showed steady activity across the market, with six new listings, five pending transactions, and four closings. While new inventory continues to enter the market, the pace of sales remains consistent, contributing to a more balanced supply and demand environment.
Looking at the 90-day trend, pricing remains stable with a median sale price of $230,990 and an average of $148 per square foot. Homes are closing at approximately 95% of list price, indicating that buyers remain active but are still price-conscious in today’s market.
With months of inventory at approximately 5.6, conditions have shifted toward a more balanced market. Inventory is taking longer to absorb compared to prior weeks, giving buyers more flexibility and negotiating power. However, well-positioned homes—particularly in the $200K–$300K range—continue to generate consistent interest and activity.
