Market snapshot
On pricing, Zillow’s latest figures placed the median sale price around $277K (Dec. 2025) and the median list price around $327K (Jan. 2026). That spread can be a useful reminder to compare what sellers hope to get versus what recent closed sales are showing.

Because platforms can differ in methodology, coverage, and how they define metrics, it can help to focus on the direction of change across sources rather than relying on a single number.
What to watch next
Redfin also noted new listings priced around a $347K median. Recent activity still suggests buyers are active, but negotiating. For shoppers, it may be worth keeping a close eye on new construction and land listings, while also using saved searches to catch price drops and back-on-market homes.
Locally, the next signal to monitor is whether more sellers cut prices to meet demand—or whether well-positioned homes continue to move close to ask.
