The market is moving, but it’s rewarding the listings that feel clean and low-friction early.

1-Minute takeaway

More listings arrived than the market absorbed. Demand is there, but it’s disciplined.

What happened

More listings arrived than the market absorbed.

Week ending Jun 13, 2025.

10 new listings arrived while 2 sales closed. When options increase, urgency usually drops and sellers get pushed toward clearer price discovery.

Sales that explain the market

Clean listings can still earn quick attention.

  • 701-711 2nd Avenue - $2,889,599 (listed $2,889,599) - 21 DOM
  • 741 5TH Avenue - $412,500 (listed $459,995) - 397 DOM

The faster outcomes still tend to be the homes that remove uncertainty early. This week’s sold mix: 0 over ask, 1 under ask.

The Board

Price discovery is happening in public.

  • Cleared: 741 5TH Avenue - sold after 397 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

27 Silver Ridge Drive - $2,495,000

Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.

Also new this week

  • 41 Piedmont Drive - $2,495,000
  • 13 Sunset Lane - $1,895,000
  • 39-4576 TIMBERLINE Crescent - $1,499,999
  • 638-4559 TIMBERLINE Crescent - $575,000
  • 33C Mt Trinity Avenue - $525,000

Next week I’m watching

If this new supply clears without big concessions. If the clean listings move early, demand is still there under the surface. If they sit, pricing will do more of the work.

My take

Patience is the default right now - not paralysis.

More listings doesn’t automatically mean more sales. It means buyers can compare harder - and the homes that feel low-friction usually move first.
