What This Means

Lock in today's pricing and urgency.

Median prices are up over 20% year-over-year and homes are selling in just 42 days. Buyer appetite is strong right now—your window for maximum exposure and pricing power is open. Waiting risks slower absorption or price softening if momentum fades.

Honest Caveats

Inventory is climbing slightly (36.62 units, up from 1mo lows), and just 0.07% of sales are seeing price increases mid-listing. If inventory continues to rise, seller leverage will weaken.
