Median List Price
$1.45M
Prices up +3.6% YoY from $1.3M but flat the past 2 months — a rare pause. Lock in before the next leg higher takes hold.
Absorbed Sale Price
$1.29M
What buyers actually paid rose +3.6% YoY and jumped +5.7% vs 3 months ago — real pricing power, and it's accelerating.
Months of Inventory
3.07 mo
Inventory sits at just 3.07 months — firmly a seller's market. Up from 2.28 in July but still well below the 4-month balanced threshold.
Days on Market
56 days
Median DOM held at 56 days for 2 months, down sharply from 84 days in Feb–Mar. Sellers are getting serious and buyers are responding.
What This Means

The Pause Won't Last — Move While You Can

Prices are flat right now, but absorbed sale prices are climbing fast, inventory is thin at 3 months, and homes are moving in 56 days. This is the steadiest entry point you'll see before fall tightens the market again. Waiting likely costs more.

Honest Caveats

28% of single-family listings have taken a price cut, up from 18% three months ago — sellers are slightly overreaching on list price. That gives you real negotiating room, but don't mistake it for a buyer's market overall.
