There are more homes available for sale now, with 163 active listings, which is 22.6% more than last year. New listings also increased by 11.1% over the past year, totaling 80. This means buyers have more choices.

Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, staying on the market for 52 days, which is a slight increase from last year. Almost one-third of homes, 29.4%, have had their prices reduced, an increase of 6.5% compared to last year.

For someone looking to buy, this means you might find more options and have a bit more room to negotiate prices.
