Inventory kept arriving - buyers stayed selective.
More listings showed up than sales closed. Buyers remain active, but they are rewarding listings that remove friction early.
1-Minute takeaway
Inventory is rising faster than sales. Buyers remain active, but they’re choosing carefully and rewarding clarity.
What happened
Inventory is rising faster than sales.
Week ending Mar 6, 2026.
3 new listings arrived while 2 sales closed. More choice usually slows urgency and pushes sellers toward clearer price discovery.
Sales that explain the market
Clean listings still earn quick attention.
- 534-4559 Timberline Crescent - $550,000 (listed $569,000) - 169 DOM
The outcomes stayed consistent with the recent rhythm. Clean listings still earn quick attention, while anything slightly optimistic usually needs time or a concession to get done.
The Board
Price discovery is happening in public.
- Cleared: 534-4559 Timberline Crescent - sold after 169 DOM
These moves usually show where buyers are pushing back - and where sellers are adjusting quickly.
New listings worth noting
More choice is slowing buyer urgency.
Even a small increase in new inventory gives buyers more direct comparisons - and that usually makes them slower to stretch.
Market example
101-541 5th Avenue - $535,000
Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.
Next week I’m watching
Whether buyers absorb the new inventory. If the clean listings move quickly, demand is still there under the surface.
My take
Buyers are patient, but not absent.
More listings doesn’t automatically mean more sales. It just means buyers can compare harder - and in that environment, the homes that remove uncertainty usually move first.
