Key Insights

Market Positioning

At 7.3 months of supply, the overall market is above the traditional 4 to 6 month balanced range.

Strongest Price Segment

$2M-$5M currently has the lowest measurable months of supply at 3.8 months.

Highest-Supply Price Segment

$9M+ currently has active inventory but no closed sales in the supplied 6-month dataset, making absorption difficult to measure.

Buyer vs. Seller Leverage

Lower-inventory price bands remain more favorable to sellers, while buyers have greater negotiating leverage in higher-supply upper-price segments.

Inventory Conditions

There are 23 active listings, and 11 have been on the market for more than 90 days, indicating that a meaningful share of inventory is taking longer to absorb.

Pricing Trends and Velocity

The median closed sale price is $2,300,000 and the median sale-to-list ratio is 93.4%. Market velocity is strongest in the lower-supply segments, while higher-end inventory generally requires more time and precise pricing.

Buyer and Seller Considerations

Buyers should focus negotiating efforts on listings with extended market time and higher-supply price bands. Sellers should position properties closely to recent comparable sales and account for the slower pace of older inventory.
