Market snapshot (January 2026)
Redfin’s January 2026 snapshot lists a median sale price around $425K, described as roughly 3% lower than the same time last year. At the same time, median days on market were reported around 91. Closed sales were described as higher year over year, even as homes took longer to move—an important combination for shoppers who want time to compare homes before making an offer.
What’s for sale right now
On the active-listings side, Zillow’s city search shows roughly 1,087 results. That level of inventory can reduce the pressure to settle quickly, especially for buyers trying to weigh resale neighborhoods versus new-construction communities. The current spread also suggests a market where pricing and concessions may vary widely by sub-area, builder, and home condition.
Development & policy watch
City agenda postings indicate zoning and development topics remain active, including zoning ordinances and updates to sign and lot-coverage rules that were discussed for final readings in February meetings. For buyers and sellers alike, these kinds of rule updates can matter most in how future growth and redevelopment take shape.
