Development watch
The Village recently hosted a public open house tied to its redevelopment planning efforts at Village Hall, highlighting ongoing attention to land use and long-term growth. While no major new subdivisions were announced in the past 30 days, planning discussions signal continued interest in shaping future residential and mixed-use areas.
Outlook
Inventory remains limited, but homes that are well-priced and updated are still moving quickly. At the same time, slight year-over-year price softening and average sale-to-list discounts suggest buyers may have more room to negotiate than during the peak run-up.
