Is it a Buyers Market or Sellers Market?

It is currently a Sellers Market. The absorption rate for October was 3.1 months. What is an absorption rate? This is an indication of how many months of inventory we currently have. You need between 4-6 months of inventory to be in a balanced market.

Home Prices

We saw home prices peak in June this year at $305,000, which was the same situation as last year. For October 2025, the median sale just topped out at $297,500. We anticipate activity and prices to slow a little for December 2025 as we enter the Winter season.
