Data supplied by Altos
Days on Market
42 days
Down sharply to 42 days from 84 days in March. Faster pace signals strong demand, but still manageable for careful shopping.
Months of Inventory
1.9 months
Well under 4 months signals a seller's market, yet historically tight. Buyers face urgency but limited pressure to overpay.
Median Sale Price
$1.4M
Stable at $1.4M YoY and 3-month trends flat. Pricing power is modest; no sprint upward means your offer holds weight.
New Listings
3.77 units
Up 165% in 3mo and 12% YoY. Fresh inventory means more homes to view and stronger negotiation position than spring.
What This Means

Act now, but stay disciplined.

Inventory is rising and days on market are falling—both work in your favor. You can be selective without losing opportunities. Prices are flat, so you're not racing against appreciation. Use the momentum to negotiate firmly.

Honest Caveats

Market action (41.75) still favors sellers slightly. Absorption is strong at 4.31 units/month, meaning homes do sell quickly once listed. Don't hesitate too long on the right home.
