Market Breakdown – October 2025 vs. October 2024

Median Sale Price: $379,900
Down 8% year-over-year
Prices have dipped more than in neighboring counties, giving buyers a potential entry point advantage. This adjustment could reflect a temporary realignment after years of growth — not a lack of interest.

Closed Sales: 215 homes
Up 9% year-over-year
Solid growth in closed transactions indicates that buyers are still making moves — and doing so more frequently than last year.

Active Inventory: 1,185 homes
Up 3% year-over-year
Inventory is rising slowly, which helps keep the market from tipping too far in one direction. More options for buyers, without oversaturating the market.

Pending Sales: 247 contracts
Up 43% year-over-year
This is the standout stat: a 43% surge in pending sales is a strong signal of real-time demand. It suggests that November could bring even stronger closing numbers.

Months of Inventory: 5.4 months
Unchanged from last year
This stable figure confirms a balanced market — supply is keeping pace with demand, and conditions remain fair for both buyers and sellers.

Days on Market: 62 days
Up 2% year-over-year
Homes are taking just a touch longer to sell than they did a year ago, but this increase is minimal. It reflects the pace of a more thoughtful, less frantic market.

New Listings: 308
Up 17% year-over-year
More homeowners are jumping into the market, creating fresh opportunity and supporting the growth in pending contracts.
