The January-to-July Direction
January began with 1,434 single-family homes for sale and 1.4 months of supply. By July, active inventory had reached 2,992 and supply 2.7 months. That substantial seasonal and year-over-year improvement created more choice, but the July median price was still 5.5% above the prior year. The market was becoming more functional without becoming broadly oversupplied.
What July Meant for Buyers
Selection was meaningfully better than in winter, and marketing time was longer than one year earlier. Buyers still needed local comparable sales and disciplined due diligence because the median single-family sale received 100.3% of list price.
What July Meant for Sellers
Demand remained healthy, but nearly 3,000 active single-family listings increased competition. Sellers benefited from careful preparation, accurate condition adjustments, and pricing grounded in recent local—not just statewide—sales.
