Market snapshot (pricing vs. timing)
Closed-sale data suggests pricing is holding up, even as the buying process stretches out. Redfin’s January 2026 snapshot pairs a higher median sale price (about $403K) with fewer completed transactions and a longer median time on market (75 days). Together, those signals often show up when buyers are taking more time to compare homes, evaluate condition, and negotiate details such as timing and seller concessions.
With fewer sales than last year (19 homes sold, down 20.8% YoY), the market’s “speed” looks softer than the year-over-year price change alone might imply. That combination can create a more deliberate, negotiation-friendly environment—especially for listings that need updates or are priced aggressively compared with recent closed sales.
Listing landscape (where expectations can diverge)
On the supply side, Realtor.com’s median list price is $499,900 (about $194 per square foot). When list-price expectations sit well above typical closed-sale levels, a wider gap can develop between what sellers hope to achieve and what buyers feel comfortable paying—until demand firms up.
What’s for sale right now
- Townhomes in the mid-$200Ks to low-$300Ks.
- Single-family homes around the mid-$400Ks.
- New-construction options commonly in the mid-$500Ks up through $1.0M+.
For shoppers, the current mix suggests plenty of price points to compare, while the longer timeline indicated by January’s data may reward patience and thorough due diligence.
