This reduction in available properties can impact both buying and selling conditions, often leading to increased competition among buyers and potentially higher selling prices.

– New Listings: In September, there were 2,179 new listings with a median list price of $399,000. This suggests a steady inflow of properties, which can be advantageous if you are looking to buy.

– Active Listings: There are 6,861 active listings on the market with a median list price of $400,000. This provides a broad spectrum of opportunities for buyers, while also indicating the level of competition for sellers.

– Pending Listings: The number of new pending listings stands at 1,391, with a median list price of $395,000 and a median of 48 days on the market. This reflects a moderately paced market, giving buyers and sellers time to consider their options.

Implications for Buyers and Sellers

For those of you buying and selling simultaneously, understanding these trends can help you strategically time your transactions. The reduced inventory suggests a seller’s market, where homes are in demand, potentially allowing sellers to negotiate favorable terms. Conversely, buyers should be prepared for competitive bidding environments.
