Supply is growing faster than it is clearing.
More choice usually slows urgency - and pushes sellers toward clearer price discovery.
1-Minute takeaway
Supply is growing faster than it is clearing. Buyers are showing up - they’re just choosing carefully.
What happened
Supply is growing faster than it is clearing.
Week ending Jul 11, 2025.
6 new listings arrived while 3 sales closed. When options increase, urgency usually drops and sellers get pushed toward clearer price discovery.
Sales that explain the market
Buyers are patient right now.
- 972 5th Avenue - $808,000 (listed $849,900) - 114 DOM (long clear - under ask)
- 1621 11th Avenue - $675,000 (listed $695,000) - 68 DOM (long clear - under ask)
- Lot 10-6 Huckleberry Place - $1,515,000 (listed $1,549,000) - 34 DOM (normal clear - under ask)
Most clears are taking time - buyers are comparing harder and committing only when price and terms line up. This week’s sold mix: 0 over ask, 3 under ask.
The Board
Price discovery is happening in public.
- Price cut: 101-4559 Timberline Crescent $479,900 → $429,900
- Cleared: 972 5th Avenue - sold after 114 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
9 Mt. Proctor Avenue - $999,900
Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.
Also new this week
- 1302 10th Avenue - $929,000
- 1302 11th Avenue - $799,000
- 1099 Mcdonald Avenue - $619,000
- 101-541 5th Avenue - $549,000
- 101-4559 Timberline Crescent - $429,900
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
Buyers are patient, but not absent.
More listings doesn’t automatically mean more sales. It means buyers can compare harder - and the homes that feel low-friction usually move first.
