- Realtor.com reports a current median list price of $529,900 and 203 active listings, with an average 108 days on market.

Market snapshot
Expect wide spreads by property type: smaller in-town homes, acreage parcels, and premium new builds can price very differently. Watch for price cuts on older listings and for builder incentives on spec homes, especially as rates move.
What to watch next
If rates keep drifting under 6%, more move-up buyers may re-enter, but sellers still need to price to recent comparable closings. For investors and renters, keep an eye on any new-build delivery waves that could loosen rental competition.
