Market Signals & Indicators

The increase in active and new listings suggests a greater selection for market participants, allowing for more considered evaluations and potentially greater price discipline from sellers. The pace of transactions, as indicated by median days on market, remains relatively quick but inventory levels suggest an environment where competition for properties is moderate.
The average listing price has increased by 24.1% year-over-year to $358,930, significantly outpacing the 13.5% year-over-year gain in the median listing price of $259,300.
