Months of Inventory
1.44 mo
Extremely tight at 1.44 months — up slightly from 1.2 in April but still well under the 4-month seller threshold, and down from 1.61 YoY.
Market Action Index
49.13
Firmly in seller's territory above 30. Has held above 49 for 12 straight months, peaking at 56.69 in April 2026 — sustained seller demand.
Price Per Sq Ft
$700/sqft
Up +3.7% in 3 months and +3.5% YoY from $676 last Sept to $700 today — your home is worth more per foot than it's ever been.
Absorbed Sale Price
$1.29M
What buyers actually paid hit $1.29M in Aug — up +5.7% YoY from $1.23M last Sept, confirming real pricing power at the closing table.
What This Means

Conditions favor sellers right now — act before inventory climbs further.

With under 1.5 months of supply and buyers closing at $1.29M, you have real leverage. Inventory has risen from 68 in March to 98 in August — if that trend continues, your window of maximum pricing power narrows. List now while demand still outpaces supply.

Honest Caveats

Median list prices have softened from a $1.48M peak in May to $1.4M in August — a 5.4% pullback over 3 months. Sellers pricing at spring peaks may need to adjust expectations slightly to attract today's buyers and avoid prolonged days on market.
