What’s for sale
Current listings include a mix of condos, townhomes and small multifamily properties. Active options range from condos in the high $200,000s to townhomes in the mid-$400,000s, along with select multi-unit properties priced higher. This spread gives first-time buyers and investors more choices than seen during the tighter conditions of 2021–2023.
With homes taking longer to sell and inventory edging up, buyers may find more flexibility on price, repairs or closing costs this spring. Sellers, meanwhile, may need sharper pricing strategies to stand out.
