🏠 Inventory Trends

Inventory remained steady in November with 431 active listings, just slightly below October’s 438*. After hitting peak inventory in late summer, the fall season continues to show gradual normalization.

New listings dipped again in November, with 76 new homes hitting the market, consistent with typical seasonal slowdown. Compared to the same time last year, total inventory is still much higher, which favors buyers and contributes to longer days on market and softer pricing.

📅 Residential Sales by Month

November sales fell to 62 closings, down from the October spike at 90. This mirrors typical holiday-season slowing but is also a sign of buyer hesitation.

Looking at the full year, high-activity months like June, July, and October stand out, while November continues the expected late-year taper.

Overall, 2025 remains in line with historical seasonal patterns: stronger summer sales, slower winter activity, and relatively stable pricing despite market fluctuations.
