Market snapshot
Totals below are added up from the ten county reports, so they describe the combined area. We don't calculate a regional median price, because medians can't be combined accurately across counties. Price comparisons are shown county by county instead.
Months of supply by county, end of . Longer bars mean more homes on the market relative to the recent sales pace.
Explore the counties
Select a county to see its full September results and year-to-date trends. Changes compare with the same month a year earlier.
"Small sample" means too few sales for percentage changes to be meaningful.
What this means for buyers
Every county and property type tells its own story. More inventory or longer selling times can open the door to more choice and more time to decide, but they don't guarantee a discount on any particular home.
Change the county or property type above and this summary updates with it.
Buyer education
Months of supply estimates how long it would take for every home currently for sale to sell if new listings stopped and sales kept their recent pace.
As a general rule of thumb, under about 4 months tends to favor sellers, 4 to 6 months is fairly balanced, and over 6 months tends to give buyers more choice and leverage. It's a starting point, not a verdict: one price range or neighborhood can be much tighter than its county as a whole.
The median is the middle sale: half of homes sold for more and half for less. The average adds every sale and divides by the number of sales, so a few very expensive homes can pull it up.
When the average is well above the median, higher-priced sales are lifting the average. For a sense of a "typical" home, the median is usually the better guide.
This shows how long homes that sold were on the market, on average. Longer times can mean buyers have more time to compare homes and ask questions.
It's still an average. Well-priced homes in good condition can sell quickly even when the county's average is long, and a home that has sat for a while may have reasons worth understanding.
A price reduction lowers the asking price while the home is listed. A seller concession is money the seller agrees to put toward the buyer's costs, such as closing costs or an interest-rate buydown, instead of (or in addition to) lowering the price.
The sale prices in these FMLS reports do not account for concessions or down-payment assistance, so the true net price of some sales may be lower than the figures show. Whether a seller will offer either depends on the home, the timing, and the competition.
Two homes with the same price can have very different monthly costs. Your total payment can include:
That's why we start with the monthly payment you're comfortable with, not just a price.
When only a few homes sell, one unusual sale can swing the median or the percent change dramatically. A county going from 2 sales to 3 is a "+50%" change that doesn't tell you much.
Throughout this report we flag small samples, hold back percent changes that aren't meaningful, and point you to year-to-date figures, which cover more sales.
Tell us which area, price range, and monthly payment you have in mind. We'll help you understand your options and identify homes worth a closer look.
