What Stood Out

- Townhouse/condo segment posted solid gains in both closed sales (+21.4%) and median price (+13.9%), showing renewed buyer interest in this category.
- Condo inventory jumped 62.1% to 107 homes, pushing months supply from 2.4 to 3.6 and signaling a shift toward more balanced conditions.
- New listings increased across both segments, with condos up 35.7%, giving buyers more options than they had a year ago.
- Single-family months supply remained low at 3.2, maintaining seller-friendly territory even as inventory ticked up slightly.
- YTD trends show single-family closed sales down 4.3% while condo median prices continue climbing (+17.7%), highlighting diverging performance by property type.
Why This Matters
For sellers of single-family homes, the faster DOM (down over 20%) is encouraging even with a modest median price decline. Pricing realistically and preparing homes well continues to yield results in a market with limited overall supply. Condo sellers face a different picture: stronger prices are good news, but the rapid inventory growth means more competition and longer marketing times—condition and location will matter more than ever.
Buyers have improved negotiating leverage in the condo segment where months supply has risen noticeably. In single-family homes, competition remains firmer, but the slight price softening and steady new listings create opportunities for well-qualified buyers who move decisively. Investors should watch the condo space closely, as higher inventory and solid price growth may point to attractive entry points in the coming months.
Bottom line: A balanced spring market with faster single-family sales and growing condo choices sets up a practical environment for prepared participants.
