I look at the current mix before I tell you what matters most.
The real question in Portsmouth, RI is whether current prices still support careful decision-making. Last month, active listings carried a median price of $1,095,000 and the sold-to-list price was 97.9%, so I would stay focused on both asking power and buyer response.
Active listings carried a median price of $1,095,000 last month, and recent offers landed at 97.9% of asking. In Portsmouth, RI, that combination tells me the market is still asking for discipline on both sides. For sellers, I would not ignore the fact that buyers are still paying close to list when the home is priced well. For buyers, I would use the same information to stay alert for value without assuming every listing will trade the same way. Keep the active price in view. Watch how buyers respond to the first week. Use the sold-to-list figure as your check.
