We saw an 8% decrease in closed sales\u2014a sign that buyers are taking a bit more time with their decisions. At the same time, median prices edged up 2%. What&#039;s especially notable is the change in inventory: condos and attached homes saw an 18.5% increase in listings, giving buyers more options in these segments, while single-family home listings dropped by 8.5%. After 25 years helping clients navigate every twist and turn of this market, I\u2019ve learned that more choices can be a real advantage\u2014especially whether you\u2019re a first-time buyer looking for your start, someone ready to downsize, or anyone planning for the next chapter.
