The market bottomed out in 2023-2024 with lower sales volumes (680-704 sales). Now in 2026, we’re seeing a clear recovery — buyers are returning, and homes are selling.
What This Means for Sellers
If you’ve been thinking about selling, the market is working in your favor:
- Prices are at record highs
- Inventory is tightening (less competition)
- Buyer activity is increasing
Waiting for “the right time” to sell? This might be it.
What This Means for Buyers
Yes, prices are up — but so is opportunity:
- Mortgage rates recently touched 5.99% (lowest in 3+ years)
- More days on market means more time to find the right home
- Sales volume increasing means more options
