Single-family homes remain the heart of local activity—47 listings on the market, most priced near the $610,000 median. Sellers closed 19 deals last month, representing robust momentum. Importantly, the sale-to-list price ratio at 95.3 percent reveals strong negotiation but not full price achievement, so careful pricing really matters.

Why it matters: timely and realistic pricing is your surest path to a successful outcome.
