Next to the kitchen is a large mudroom with access to both the front and backyard. If you've got kids, sports gear, boots, backpacks, groceries, or a dog that comes in muddy, you'll immediately appreciate this space. Next to that is the deep attached garage with an updated garage door, offering plenty of room to park a car or truck while still leaving space for a workshop area, storage, or the lawnmower.

How’s the Market - April 2026

May 4, 2026   

As we moved through April, we saw an increase in the number of sold listings with 39 properties selling compared to 28 in March, and also 28 sold in April of last year. At the same time, active listings rose from 234 at the end of March to 300 by the end of April, meaning buyers are starting to see more options and competition between listings is growing. I do believe we’ll continue to see inventory increase as more properties hit the market over the coming weeks. It was a slower start than normal for spring listings, and the weather may have played a role in delaying some sellers from getting to market.

For example, over the last seven days alone, there were 57 new listings that hit the market across all property types including residential, farm, vacant land, and commercial properties. During that same timeframe, there were 28 price reductions and 23 sold properties, meaning we are currently seeing more price reductions happening than sales. We also saw 148 properties expire from the market, which continues to show that pricing strategy and positioning matter more than ever in today’s market. Even with the increase in inventory, buyers are still active, showings are continuing regularly, and well-priced properties are still attracting strong attention.

Here’s how April 2026 shaped up compared to April 2025 in key areas of our region:
