The market, by the numbers
Closed residential sales, November 1, 2025 to November 1, 2026.
Months of supply is today's 68 listings divided by the 12 month average of about 8 sales per month. 12 of the 93 sales closed at $3 million or more. Seller concessions are seller paid buyer costs, such as closing costs or a rate buydown, as reported on the closed MLS record. Listing success rate is the share of listings that left the market over the past 12 months that closed rather than being cancelled or expiring: 93 closed and 82 cancelled or expired. A listing that was cancelled and relisted counts as cancelled.

If you are selling
