Written from the verified metrics above · October 2026
For Buyers
- Inventory is higher than a year ago (15,457 active listings, up 8.5%), which may mean more homes to choose from and potentially more room to compare and negotiate on some properties.
- Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago (median 71 days), which can give buyers more time to evaluate decisions.
- Median listing prices are a bit lower than last year ($575,000), though individual homes and neighborhoods still vary widely.
For Sellers
- More homes are available than a year ago (15,457 active listings, up 8.5%), so pricing and presentation can matter more than they did in a tighter market.
- Homes are taking longer to sell (median 71 days), so realistic expectations about timing can help reduce re-listing frustration.
- Median listing prices are slightly below last year ($575,000), so current local data can help anchor a realistic list price.
