Market Action Index
41.39
Seller's market territory at 41.39, up from 40.42 last month and well above the 30-point threshold — buyer urgency is real and holding steady YoY.
Months of Inventory
1.9 months
Only 1.9 months of supply — deep seller's market. Inventory is tight vs. the 4-month balanced threshold, giving you strong pricing leverage right now.
Median List Price
$1.35M
Median price holds at $1.35M, up from $1.3M in June and $1.3M a year ago — prices have quietly firmed +3.5% YoY with no signs of retreat.
Absorbed Sale Price
$1.17M
What buyers actually paid rose to $1.17M in Sep, up from $1.16M in Aug and $1.15M a year ago — real sale prices are trending up, not down.
What This Means

The window is open — list before fall softens demand.

With under 2 months of inventory and a Market Action Index above 40, you hold pricing power today. Homes are moving, sale prices are rising, and new listings are testing $1.25M. Every month you wait risks a seasonal slowdown eating into your net proceeds.

Honest Caveats

Days on market have edged up to 35 days from a low of 28 days in summer, and 36% of listings have taken a price cut — so overpricing at launch will cost you time and momentum. Sharp, strategic pricing from day one is critical to capturing this market.
