Market snapshot
Redfin describes the market as somewhat competitive. Many homes still find buyers, but the overall tempo points to more room for careful comparisons, inspections, and negotiations than in stronger seller-driven stretches.
On the supply side, Zillow’s local search page lists 316 active results spanning resale homes, townhomes, and some new-construction options. For shoppers, that mix can widen the range of options, but it can also make it easier to spot when a specific segment is moving faster than another.
Policy & development notes
A Feb. 17 Planning Commission agenda included conditional use permit requests and a proposed text amendment updating the International Fire Code. Updates like these can affect requirements for new builds and major remodels, so they’re worth tracking for anyone planning a project or weighing new construction.
What to watch next
- Whether rate stability near 6% brings more rate-sensitive buyers back ahead of peak spring inventory.
- Price cuts and list-to-sale price patterns as the clearest near-term signal of leverage shifting.
