As of January 1, there were 200 active listings on the market, and we saw 28 sales in the month of December. That’s a strong number of sales for what is typically a quieter time of year. December actually proved to be fairly busy, including with showings, which tells us buyers are still paying attention and still ready to move when the right home comes along.
This is also why pricing continues to matter so much. If you’re not getting showings, you’re not getting offers. But if you are getting showings and still not getting offers, that can be just as frustrating, if not more. It usually means buyers are interested, but something about the price or presentation isn’t quite lining up with their expectations. Both situations are important signals, just different ones.
To put things into perspective, in December 2024 there were only 19 sales. This past December we had 28, which is a big jump for a December and a really positive sign of buyer activity.
One thing I can see clearly from the back end is that online views remain high. There are a lot of people actively looking, watching, and keeping an eye on the market from the sidelines. Even when they’re not ready to move immediately, they’re paying attention and getting informed, which is always a strong indicator of future activity.
