Hi There March!
March feels like the month where the market stretches its arms and steps into the light. The days get longer, buyers start circling with renewed energy, and sellers begin wondering if this might be their moment. There’s a quiet buzz in the air, not frantic, just focused.
Nationally we saw existing home sales last month but locally, the market has a bit of a mixed rhythm right now. Homes in desirable areas, especially those that show beautifully or have hard-to-find features are still sparking multiple offers and occasional bidding wars. Meanwhile, properties that feel overpriced or lack that “wow” factor are sitting longer, and price reductions are becoming more common.
Closed sales dipped for both detached and attached homes, but pending sales inched up for detached properties. Inventory for detached homes tightened even further, while attached inventory stayed relatively steady.
What this means for you:
For sellers, well positioned homes are still commanding strong attention, especially in desirable neighborhoods. With detached inventory down, strategic pricing and thoughtful presentation matter more than ever.
For buyers, the combination of slightly longer days on market and steadier price growth can create opportunity. You may have more room to negotiate and a bit more time to make confident decisions compared to the ultra competitive pace of the past few years.
March is a month of momentum, not chaos. It rewards preparation. Whether you’re planning a move this spring or simply watching the tides, understanding the numbers puts you in control.
If a question has been sitting in the back of your mind, let’s talk it through. The right timing is personal, and a strategy built around your goals always wins over trying to chase the market.
Here’s to a March filled with clarity, confidence, and smart moves ahead.
