Summer Market Remains Choppy

Market Signals dashboard with sales, new listings, average price, and percent changes.

After last week’s strong rebound, sales fell 29% to 211, while new listings increased 15% to 627. That combination gives buyers more choice and shows the summer market continues to move up and down from week to week.

 

Looking at the broader trend, buyers remain selective and price-conscious. The 5.4% gap between original list and sale price is right back in the range we’ve seen for much of the year. The message for sellers remains consistent: pricing and presentation matter.

Weekly sales have been volatile, but buyers remain selective and price-conscious. The sale-to-list gap has generally stayed in the 5% to 7% range , giving buyers room to negotiate. As we approach September, the question is whether this rebound carries into the fall market.
