Market snapshot (through Jan. 31, 2026)
Inventory and list-side pace showed a more nuanced picture. One tracker counted 95 homes for sale and 26 new listings through Jan. 31, 2026, which can influence how quickly buyers find options and how much leverage sellers have.

Rentals also leaned higher. Average rent was around $1.6K, up 5.4% year-over-year through Jan. 31, 2026. For households deciding between renting and buying, that rent trend sits alongside purchase affordability, which is sensitive to mortgage rates even when prices remain steady.

With rates dipping below 6% in late February, market attention often turns to whether demand responds quickly or stays selective. Locally, the near-term question is whether more new listings arrive and whether pending timelines shorten or stay closer to recent levels.
