Market snapshot
According to Redfin, the median sale price in February reached $740,000, reflecting modest annual growth. Homes are selling notably faster, averaging just over two weeks on market, suggesting well-priced properties continue to draw strong interest.
Zillow’s Home Value Index shows a typical home value near $737,500 as of late January, with a slight year-over-year dip. Inventory remains limited, with a few dozen homes listed at the end of January and fewer than a dozen new listings that month, pointing to ongoing supply constraints.
Overall, conditions resemble a balanced-to-seller-leaning market: buyers have somewhat more time than during peak frenzy years, but desirable homes can still attract multiple offers.
What’s for sale
Recent new listings include a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and small multifamily properties. Redfin reports a range of active inventory, from entry-level condos to larger detached homes, giving buyers options across several price points. However, total available listings remain modest relative to demand.
For sellers, the combination of steady pricing and shorter days on market may present an opportunity before any broader regional slowdown filters into neighborhood-level data.
