First, new listings increased 44.4%, while active listings edged down 4.3%.

Listing and Sales Activity
Inventory
New listings were 13, up 44.4%. Active listings decreased 4.3% to 22.
As a result, months of supply was 2.5, up 25%. This remains below a balanced market.
Sales
Pending sales fell 50% to 6. Closed sales decreased 55.6% to 4.
| Pending sales of 6 exceed the 4 closed sales. For that reason, closed sales may rise next month, though results vary. |

Days on Market
Median days on market was 7, down 61.1%. Average days on market was 9, down 57.1%.
Notably, the median and average are close, so most homes sold quickly.
In other words, well-priced detached homes sold in about a week.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $1,687,500, down 19.6%. Average sale price was $1,827,250, down 7.7%.
However, with only 4 sales, the mix of homes largely explains these changes.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $1,128, up 30.6%. The average was $1,052, up 13.6%.
In contrast, the median sale price declined.
This suggests smaller homes closed at higher per-square-foot prices, rather than a broad change in values.
Therefore, read these figures together.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 100% at the median (+1%) and 99.7% at the average (+3.2%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 99.3% at the median (+5.1%) and 98.5% at the average (+2.7%).
In other words, homes sold at or near list price, with little discount from the original price.
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
Months of supply was 2.5 with 22 active listings, which indicates limited selection. In addition, homes sold in a median of 7 days at 100% of last list price. As a result, buyers may have little room for negotiation and may need to act quickly. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 100% of last list price and 99.3% of original list price. Limited inventory and short days on market favor sellers. However, new listings increased 44.4%, so competing inventory is being added. Even so, pricing in line with recent comparable sales remains the main factor. |
