Land and buildable acreage continue to be the most visible part of local real estate activity, with shoppers balancing property pricing against the cost of financing. With marketing times running long, listings can linger while buyers compare options, run numbers, and decide whether to act now or wait for better terms.

- Mortgage-rate watchers saw a notable benchmark: Freddie Mac’s weekly average 30-year fixed rate was 5.98% for the week ending Feb 26, 2026, dipping below 6%.
