The quick take

What this means for buyers

You have options. With 8.83 months of inventory, selection is wider and negotiations are possible. The 97 percent sold-to-list ratio shows homes are closing near asking price, yet reasonable offers still get attention. Take time to compare neighborhoods, views, and condition. Use recent sales to support your offer and ask for needed repairs or credits with confidence.

What this means for sellers

Price strategy matters. In a buyer’s market, sharp pricing brings more showings and stronger offers. The 46-day median time on market signals a steady pace. Plan for a few weeks of quality marketing. Focus on condition, curb appeal, and clear photography. The 97 percent sold-to-list ratio suggests buyers may negotiate slightly, so anchor your price to recent closed comps and your home’s standout features.

Understanding the inventory shift

Inventory dipped 12 percent in the last month, which can help well-prepared listings sell faster. Over the past year, inventory rose 59 percent, giving buyers more choice. Sellers should stay flexible and watch weekly showing feedback. Small adjustments in price or presentation can make a real difference.

Pricing benchmarks to guide your plan

The current median sold price is 425,000 dollars. Use this as a starting point. Then adjust for view, access, updates, and lot characteristics. Buyers can use the median to gauge affordability and loan options. Sellers can use it to position their home competitively while highlighting unique value.
