Active listings increased to 1,506, with 209 new listings entering the market and 132 homes sold. A total of 148 homes went in-contract, while price changes climbed to 224 as sellers continued to adjust to growing competition. Homes closed at a 4.30% discount from the last list price versus 9.41% from the original list price in May 2026, compared to 4.31% and 5.68% in May 2025. This indicates that buyers remain engaged ahead of the summer market, but are resisting inflated pricing. As seasonal activity increases, pricing accuracy continues to play a critical role.

Overall, inventory remained steady above 1,500 throughout the month, providing buyers with a broad range of options while maintaining a balanced market in the summer season.

Active listings increased through April as new inventory entered the market place. Homes closed in April 2026 at a 4.53% discount from the last list price versus 8.72% from the original list price showing sellers were aggressively pricing their houses which resulted in large price reductions before their homes sold. This is compared to April 2025 where homes sold at their last list price of  3.75% and 4.90% original price where pricing was more realistic. (See highlighted graph above.)

This month inventory continued to build giving buyers more options as the market moved closer to the early summer season. Demand remained active, but buyers were more selective and price-sensitive, resulting in increased pricing adjustments and a more negotiation-driven environment.

Home closings and In-contracts remained steady.
