What it means for sellers
Price it for today, not the peak. With Months of Supply near ~4.7 and closings in the trailing 3-month period of 2025 a bit softer Year-over-Year, buyers have options. Listings even ~3–4% above market are lingering, while appropriately priced homes still see steady tours and offers.
Preparation still wins. Updated, move-in-ready properties are achieving the best $/sf. Small fixes—paint, lighting, landscaping, and tidy punch lists—help you defend price and reduce days on market.
Launch matters. The first 7–10 days after going live remain critical. Hitting the market polished and correctly priced maximizes early momentum and reduces the chance of a later price cut.
Seller bottom line: It’s a balanced market with a slight tilt toward well-prepared, well-priced homes. Stretch pricing or dated condition risks longer market time and weaker terms.
What it means for buyers
More choice without broad price relief. New listings were up ~11% vs last fall, and actives have ticked up since summer, but $/sf held firm around the mid-$300s. Expect competition on the stand-out homes—especially those turnkey and well-located.
Use condition to your advantage. With average prices steady and YTD $/sf slightly lower, the best negotiation room tends to be on homes needing cosmetic or systems updates.
Be ready to move on the right one. While the 3-month average DOM is in the mid-teens, individual turnkey listings can still draw early interest. Have pre-approval and decision criteria ready.
Watch the “stale” tier. Expireds are down YoY, but homes that sit ~3+ weeks often revisit price or presentation—creating opportunities for prepared buyers.
Buyer bottom line: The pace is calmer than last year, selection is better than midsummer, and negotiation is back—yet the top-quartile listings still command attention. Being informed and decisive is your edge.
