Months of Inventory
2.6
Down slightly from 2.71 YoY but holding steady at 2.6mo, signaling balanced supply despite recent gains
Days on Market
56 days
Down from 63 days YoY; homes selling faster, but slower than spring peaks—room to negotiate
Price Per Sq Ft
$809
Down 1.9% from $825 YoY; per-foot value cooling, giving buyers better value on square footage
Median Price
$1.45M
Down 9.3% from $1.60M YoY; prices retreating after peak, creating entry opportunities for buyers
What This Means

Lock in now while sellers are realistic.

Prices have fallen 9% year-over-year and per-foot value is declining. Homes are taking longer to sell, which means sellers are motivated and more willing to negotiate. The window to buy at these levels won't stay open forever.

Honest Caveats

Inventory remains relatively tight at 2.6 months—nowhere near a full buyer's market. Competition still exists, so act on the right home rather than waiting for further cooling.
