APRIL 2026 – RISING SALES, TIGHTER INVENTORY & BUYER OPPORTUNITY
During the third month of 2026 we saw residential property sales come in 6% higher than March of last year, while total listing inventory decreased by 9%, landing at 2,751 active listings. The overall average price across all residential categories combined is currently sitting at $818,127, with a price dip nearly 4% lower than last March’s average price.
The table below highlights where the 364 total monthly sales came from and where inventory levels are sitting for each property type. On average, it is taking about 65 days to sell a home, depending on the category.
SINGLE FAMILY HOME MARKET UPDATE
Sales in the single-family sector increased by 8%, coupled with a 16% decrease in inventory compared to last year. Even with a 7% dip in average price, the typical single-family home still remains above the 1 million dollar price point.
TOWNHOUSE MARKET UPDATE
The townhouse market remained active with sales sitting more than 1% above last years numbers, while inventory decreased by 8%. Townhomes currently make up only 14% of all active listings and the average sale price is sitting at $780,184, nearly 4% higher than last March.
CONDO MARKET UPDATE
Last month condo sales increased by 13%, while available listings levels dropped by nearly 6%. The condo market continued to show seasonally healthy engagement.
SUPPLY & DEMAND
The months of inventory levels are our best way to determine the strength or weakness of the market…and to recap our benchmarks:
Less than 4 Months of Inventory is a Seller’s Market
4 to 6 Months of Inventory is a Balanced Market
More than 6 Months of Inventory is a Buyer’s Market
We’ve been tracking the Months of Inventory – the graph below outlines how the third month of 2026 went compared to the same time periods in the previous 3 years. In March 2026, we were sitting at 7.5 months of inventory, down from 8.8 months in March 2025. This keeps us in a buyer’s market for now, offering more options for buyers as the spring market continues!
