This $80,000 drop occurred while active listings shifted only slightly from 305 to 299 units, indicating that price adjustments are occurring without a significant reduction in available stock. Average days on market improved marginally from 52 days in September to 49 days in October. Despite this slight acceleration in sales velocity, the persistent gap between sold and new listings suggests that sellers are accepting lower prices to move properties in a competitive environment where buyers have ample choice.

This metric confirms a buyer's market condition where demand is insufficient to absorb new supply quickly, forcing sellers to compete on price rather than location or features alone to secure offers. By October 2026, the calculated ratio based on 51 sold and 132 new listings stood at approximately 39 percent. Although higher than the August threshold, this figure remains well below the balanced market benchmark of 50 percent, reinforcing that buyers retain negotiating power. The consistent presence of nearly 300 active listings ensures that alternative options remain readily available to prospective purchasers.
