What It Means for Buyers & Sellers
Price growth year over year signals ongoing stability, but longer marketing times point to a more measured pace than the ultra-competitive conditions seen in prior years. Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods are still drawing attention, while overpricing may lead to extended days on market.
For sellers, recent comparable sales remain higher than a year ago. For buyers, increased inventory and longer listing times may create opportunities for negotiation.
