Market Action Index
48.64
Seller's market, but cooling fast — down from 56.54 in Apr and 48.37 a year ago, signaling buyer leverage is quietly building right now.
Total Inventory
472 homes
Up +66% from 284 in Mar and +18.4% YoY from 399 — more options on the market than buyers have seen in over a year.
Median Sale Price
$600K
Down from a $619K peak in May, giving buyers a chance to lock in below recent highs before the market firms back up into fall.
Price Per Sq Ft
$279
Down from a high of $286/sqft in Jun, and only +1.7% YoY vs $275 — appreciation is real but not running away from you yet.
What This Means

The Window Is Open — But It Won't Stay That Way

Inventory has surged 66% since March and prices have pulled back from their May peak. That's a combination that rarely lasts. Locking in at $600K today, before fall demand tightens supply again, puts you ahead of the next price push.

Honest Caveats

With 472 homes available and a Market Action Index still above 45, this isn't a full buyer's market — well-priced homes are still moving in 28 days. You'll need a strong offer; don't expect sellers to give the house away just because inventory is up.

Data supplied by Altos
Total Inventory
1701.54
Balanced is 4–6 months. Demand has nowhere to wait you out.
Median Price
$599K
Up from $550K in Feb and +1.7% over last month — momentum is decisively up.
Price / Sq Ft
$313
Up +11.8% in 3mo and +1.8% YoY. Neighbors are testing higher — and getting absorbed.
Days On Market
63
Down from 84 three months ago. Pace accelerating into peak season.
What This Means

The spring window is open and tightening.

Inventory is barely two months, sale times have compressed by a quarter in 90 days, and new-listing pricing is up nearly 12% off the February floor. List in the next 30–60 days into rising buyer urgency, before mid-summer supply typically catches up.

Honest Caveats

The market is rewarding precision, not stretch-pricing: 37% of listings have cut price at some point, and YoY asking is still -4.6% below last spring. Price right and the trend is on your side; overshoot and you risk joining the price-cut group.
