March's Statewide Market Story
Activity broadened as the spring market developed. Single-family closed sales rose 5.6%, pending sales increased 7.9%, and new listings increased 7.4%. Inventory grew faster, rising 13.2%, but the market still had only 1.4 months of supply.
Condo closings increased 29.1% and dollar volume rose 27.6%. The median price dipped 1.2%, illustrating why sales volume and median price can move differently when the composition of closings changes.
Single-Family Conditions
| Metric | March 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Closed sales | 722 | +5.6% |
| Median price | $530,000 | +1.0% |
| Days on market | 44 | +15.8% |
| Pending sales | 942 | +7.9% |

Condominium Conditions
Condo buyers saw 527 new listings, up 13.6%, and 644 units for sale, up 6.6%. Median days on market reached 48, while 1.7 months of supply remained constrained. The median sale received 99.2% of list price.
Implications for Buyers and Sellers
Buyers gained more listings but also encountered more active competition as pending contracts rose. Sellers still benefited from limited supply, though the longer marketing period rewarded preparation and segment-specific pricing. Condo owners should not interpret the 1.2% median decline as a valuation change for every unit; association condition, fees, location, size, and sales mix all matter.
