What Happened in the Market This Month
April brought strong movement across key indicators:
• Median Sales Price: $243,750 (+18.2%)
• Homes for Sale: Down 8.2%
• Days on Market: 28 days (-33.3%)
• Pending Sales: Up 21.1%
• Percent of List Price: 100%
These numbers confirm one thing: demand is not just steady—it is increasing.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, the strategy of waiting is becoming more costly.
Homes are moving quickly, and strong offers are becoming the norm. The buyers who are succeeding right now are prepared, decisive, and ready to act immediately.
For sellers, this is a window of opportunity.
Low inventory combined with strong buyer demand creates favorable conditions for pricing, negotiation strength, and shorter timelines.
Where the Market is Headed Next
The most important signal in this market is not just price—it’s behavior.
• Buyer activity is rising
• Inventory is tightening
• Speed is increasing
Unless inventory levels increase significantly, we can expect continued upward pressure on pricing and continued competition among buyers.
Why Experience in Today’s Market Matters
There’s a lot of noise right now about the market—some comparing it to “COVID-like conditions” and others brushing it off as sales pressure.
But here’s the reality from someone who is actively working in it every single day:
This market is moving fast. Faster than many buyers expect.
You may not have the luxury of taking a day—or even a night—to think about whether a home is right for you. By the time you decide, there’s a strong chance multiple offers are already on the table.
That’s not a sales tactic. That’s what is actually happening.
As a REALTOR® and Broker/Owner with over 25 years in this business, I bring experience—but just as importantly, I bring current, real-time insight.
I’m not removed from the market. I’m in it.
Showing homes. Writing offers. Negotiating deals. Watching how buyers and sellers are reacting right now—not months ago.
That matters.
Because success in this market isn’t just about understanding real estate—it’s about understanding timing, competition, and how decisions are being made in the moment.
And that only comes from being actively involved, not just observing from the sidelines.
