Monthly active listings increased to 1,529, with 221 new listings coming to market a substantial increase from 197 the year prior with 125 homes sold. A total of 150 homes went in-contract, while price changes continue to increase monthly, reaching 272 yet substantially lower than the yearly comparison of 362 in August 2025. Homes closed at a 4.72% discount from the last list price versus 9.94% from the original list price, showing that sellers who adjust to current market conditions are getting closer to the price buyers are willing to pay.
The summer market ended with a healthy level of activity, particularly toward the end of August when contracts and closings picked up. Expect increases in inventory throughout September as homeowners get their homes back after renting and decide to list their homes for sale. With total inventory and new listings higher than August 2025 buyers have more to choose from than earlier in the year. As we move into fall—historically our second buying season—I expect more motivated buyers and sellers with a bit more urgency in September.
