Listing and Sales Activity
Inventory
New listings were 16, down 27.3%. Active listings eased 20% to 48.
As a result, months of supply was 2.5, down 24.2%. This indicates limited inventory.
Sales
Closed sales increased 47.1% to 25. In contrast, pending sales fell 50% to 13.
| Pending sales of 13 are well below the 25 closed sales. For that reason, closed sales may ease next month, though results vary. |

Days on Market
Median days on market was 31, up 10.7%. Average days on market was 50, up 11.1%.
Notably, the average is well above the median. A few longer listings raised the average.
The typical home that sold did so in about one month.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $1,805,000, down 5%. Average sale price was $2,249,960, up 3.9%.
Therefore, the two measures moved in opposite directions.
The average is about $445,000 above the median, so higher-priced sales raised the average.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $806, up 11.5%. The average was $791, up 3.5%.
However, median sale price fell, so the sales were likely smaller homes priced higher per foot.
Because the segment includes many home sizes, the mix of homes affects these figures.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 98.3% at both the median (-0.1%) and the average (-0.5%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 96.7% at the median (+0.7%) and 95.4% at the average (-0.8%).
In other words, homes sold about 2% below last list price.
The gap to original list price shows that some sellers reduced price before selling.
Sale prices in the pricing chart are shown in thousands of dollars divided by 10 so they can be displayed on the same scale as price per square foot.
Considerations for Buyers and Sellers
|
FOR BUYERS
Active inventory fell 20% to 48 listings, and months of supply was 2.5. As a result, selection is limited, so well-priced homes may draw competition. However, homes sold about 2% below last list price, so some negotiation remains. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 98.3% of last list price, which indicates strong pricing support. In addition, months of supply was 2.5, and closed sales rose 47.1%. However, pending sales fell 50%, so activity may slow next month. For this reason, pricing in line with recent comparable sales matters most. |
