Market snapshot
Pricing gap to watch: Current median list pricing (about $350K) is sitting close to recent median sale pricing (about $360K). With those numbers close together, the market signal is that sellers are still aiming high even as the pace of completed deals looks cooler.
Time on market depends on the lens: Realtor.com shows active listings averaging about 73 days on market, while January closed sales show a faster median time to sell at 42 days on Redfin. That difference can matter for buyers trying to gauge negotiating leverage: the active-listing average may capture more stale inventory, while closed-sale medians reflect what actually went under contract and closed in that month.
