The market’s giving mixed signals again (classic). but don’t worry the numbers tell the real story…
Instead of racing ahead, everyone’s pacing themselves. Buyers are testing the waters with more confidence, while sellers are adjusting their game plans as inventory piles up. The overall mood? Less heat, more strategy.
Average Home Price: $1,022,143 — down 5.2% from last August. Softer prices mean buyers are walking in with a little more leverage.
Sales: 5,211 homes sold — up 2.3% from last year. Not a flood, but enough to show buyers are creeping back in.
New Listings: 14,038 hit the market — a 9.4% jump year-over-year. Translation: buyers have more to choose from, sellers have more to compete with.
Market Pulse: Prices are flat compared to July, but sales are holding and listings are climbing. Balance might finally be on the horizon.
Bottom line? More listings mean more choice, but also require more strategy. If you’re thinking of buying or selling, this is the kind of market where a plan matters.
Behind the Scenes
On the ground, fall is already making its presence known.
Momentum is building in the market — open houses are drawing more foot traffic, and stronger offers are landing on the table. Buyers who spent the summer waiting on the sidelines are stepping in, and it’s giving September an energetic start.
That doesn’t mean everything is flying off the shelf, though. The homes getting the quickest attention are the ones that check both boxes: priced right and presented well. Stale listings are still sitting, while fresh, move-in-ready homes are pulling in showings fast.
For sellers, it’s the moment to lean into strategy — a polished presentation and smart pricing will set you apart. For buyers, the pace is picking up, so having pre-approvals and a clear plan in place makes all the difference.
Curious about how this early-fall shift could work in your favour? Hit reply — let’s talk.
