Market read
The week, in plain English
This was a useful week because it showed where buyers would act - and where they would not. 0 new listings arrived while 0 sales closed. This week produced activity, but not finality. The sold column stayed quiet this week. Taken together, that made this feel like a market that was still moving, but in a more selective and disciplined way than the headline numbers alone might suggest. What stands out just as much is what did not happen: there was not enough here to suggest the market suddenly turned urgent. For sellers, that usually means the homes attracting attention are still the ones with sharper pricing, cleaner presentation, or fewer reasons for a buyer to hesitate.
What I’m watching next
Whether buyers keep acting on the sharp listings first.
If the sharper listings keep moving first, the market likely stays balanced but selective. If they start to stall, that usually means the next move comes from pricing, not from a lack of interest.

For now, this still feels like a market that rewards fit, pricing, and patience more than broad momentum.
