🔑 Key Takeaways (Big Picture)
✅ 1. Two Very Different Markets
- Single-family homes: Prices are rising strongly → seller advantage remains
- Condos/townhomes: Prices are declining → more buyer leverage
✅ 2. Inventory Is Driving the Split
- Single-family inventory is tight (fewer new listings) → pushing prices up
- Condo inventory remains higher and more competitive → putting pressure on prices
✅ 3. Buyers Are Still Active
- Sales are up in both segments
- Even with higher rates and pricing shifts, demand hasn’t disappeared
✅ 4. Market Pace Is Normalizing
- Homes are taking longer to sell overall
- Indicates a shift away from the ultra-fast pandemic market to a more balanced environment
✅ 5. Pricing Strategy Matters More Than Ever
- Both markets show ~94% list-to-sale ratios
- Buyers are negotiating → accurate pricing is critical for sellers
🧭 Your Positioning Insight
- 🏡 Single-family market:
“Still strong—but strategic pricing and presentation are key as buyers become more selective.” - 🏢 Condo market:
“Opportunities for buyers are emerging, especially with motivated sellers and softer pricing.”
