The Read
Prices firmed even as the pace eased. The median close reached $615K, up 3% from a year ago and from April.
Homes are taking longer, not less. Median days in MLS rose to 16, two days slower than last spring.
Sellers stayed home this spring. New listings fell 18% and active inventory dropped 8% from last May.
The headline hides the spread. Condos lingered 31 days and luxury above $2M took 29, while well-priced mid-market homes moved quicker.
With buyers in no rush, patience and sharp pricing carry the day, and real room remains for those willing to wait.
