List-to-sale dynamics remain buyer-leaning. Zillow reports a median sale-to-list ratio of 0.963, and a large share of transactions are closing below asking (78.3%). In practical terms, this can put added pressure on sellers to present well, price tightly, and respond quickly to feedback during showings.Â
What’s for sale (quick scan)
On the active-search side, Zillow’s citywide results currently show about 1,774 active listings spanning condos, townhomes, single-family homes, and new construction. With that many options in the mix, searches often benefit from a tighter filter set that helps separate real value from listings that may be lingering.Â
Filters that can help focus the hunt include:
- Days on market (to spot newer opportunities versus older listings).
- HOA dues (when applicable) to keep monthly carrying costs in view.
- Insurance/roof age notes to flag potential cost and inspection implications early.
