Sales that explain the market
Buyers are active, but selective.
- 892 9th Avenue - $925,000 (listed $1,150,000) - 40 DOM (normal clear - under ask)
The outcomes stayed mixed - the winners tend to be the listings that feel straightforward from day one. This week’s sold mix: 0 over ask, 1 under ask.
The Board
Price discovery is happening in public.
- Cleared: 892 9th Avenue - sold after 40 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
12 Alpine Trail Place - $1,250,000
Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.
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.
