A Snapshot of the Numbers

- Average Days on Market: 63
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers, the relatively low number of new listings—only eight last week—underscores the importance of acting quickly when a property that fits your needs hits the market. The 63 average days on market suggests that some properties are still lingering, which could mean there are opportunities for negotiation. With 10 properties going under contract last week, competition is steady, but not overly aggressive, making it an opportune time for buyers prepared to make informed offers.
Insights for Sellers
If you’re considering selling your property, now is the time to take advantage of motivated buyers eager to find their dream homes before the end of the year. The $19.8 million in closed volume indicates strong buyer activity and a robust market. With properties spending an average of 63 days on the market, proper pricing and preparation are key to a successful sale. A well-staged, thoughtfully marketed home can stand out and attract serious buyers in this dynamic market.
Observations on the Current Market
The week’s data tells a balanced story. The steady pace of pendings and closings indicates a healthy level of activity, while the limited new listings highlight an ongoing inventory challenge—a theme we’ve seen throughout the year.
