Supply Gauge
Supply Tightening
131 active listings at 4.3 months of supply. With 12 closings outpacing 10 new listings this week, inventory is being absorbed faster than it is building — and the direction is beginning to favor sellers.
Concentrated and Selective
The $200K–$300K range accounts for 12 of 13 total pending sales — the clear sweet spot. Above $300K, just 1 pending against 37 active listings. Buyers know where the value is, and they are not stretching beyond it.
Negotiation is the Norm
A 93.25% list-to-sale ratio means buyers are closing nearly 6.75% below asking. At 76 average days on market, patience remains on the buyer's side. Overpriced listings are not the exception — they are the rule that isn't moving.

Quiet cul-de-sac setting with privacy and character. Vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a functional layout inside — spacious backyard with mature trees and a treehouse outside. All-brick construction, Flood Zone X, and convenient access to schools and amenities.
Tip of the Week: Presentation isn't optional — it's pricing
In a market where buyers have options and average days on market sit at 76, condition drives decisions before price ever comes up. A home that shows well justifies its number. One that doesn't gives buyers a reason to negotiate down — or walk away entirely. Simple improvements to curb appeal, cleanliness, and staging don't just attract more showings; they protect your bottom line. What a buyer sees in the first five minutes sets the ceiling on every offer that follows.

Interest rates continued to ease this week, with the 30-year fixed dipping to 6.64% and FHA dropping notably to 6.10% — giving buyers improved purchasing power compared to recent weeks.
Inventory remains tight at 131 active listings, down from 135 the week prior. At 4.3 months of supply, we are trending toward seller's market conditions.
Buyers who have been waiting may find this window worth acting on. Sellers remain in a favorable position as supply continues to contract and demand holds steady heading into summer.
