The early 2026 market is showing steady momentum—prices are rising, activity is healthy, and inventory is slowly building. It’s a market that’s moving with purpose, not panic.

What Stands Out:

• Average sales price: $350,155 — up 5.6% Home values continue to climb, giving sellers solid equity gains and keeping buyer demand strong for well‑priced homes.

• Closed sales: 1,103 — up 3.9% More buyers are getting to the closing table, a sign of confidence and steady activity across the region.

• Average days on market: 110 — up 10 days Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, which often happens as inventory grows and buyers take more time to compare options.

• Months of inventory: 3.52 Still below the 4–6 month “balanced market” range—leaning slightly toward sellers, but far from the frenzy of past years.

• New listings: 2,171 — up 3.4% Fresh inventory is arriving, giving buyers more choices and helping stabilize the pace of the market.

• Active listings: 3,445 — up 2.2% A gentle increase in available homes is creating a healthier, more predictable environment for both sides of the transaction.

• 98% of original list price received Strong pricing strategy still matters—homes positioned correctly are capturing solid offers.

The first four months of 2026 show a market that’s balanced, active, and trending upward without overheating. Whether you’re buying or selling, thoughtful preparation and strategic pricing remain the keys to success.
