Market Action Index
The MAI at 35 shows the market continues to lean toward sellers, though the advantage is relatively mild and closer to a balanced market. Buyers have more opportunities to negotiate, especially on properties that remain on the market longer. Sellers still maintain leverage thanks to relatively low inventory levels compared to demand.
Inventory Trends
Inventory has seen a slight decrease from 117 to 115 homes. If inventory continues to increase through the summer, buyers could gain more leverage. But for now, the market remains balanced with moderate competition.

The median list price is $2.595M, while the median price of new listings is much lower at $1.99M. This gap suggests that sellers bringing homes to market are pricing lower than existing listings, an indication that they were responding to the higher inventory over the last few months.
