This imbalance creates a 97.75-month inventory ratio, far exceeding balanced market thresholds. The source does not specify the exact observation period for these counts, limiting precise trend analysis. Sellers face intense competition for a small pool of buyers in this environment. New listings reached 99 units in October 2026, up 6.45% year-over-year. Despite this increase in supply, the low sales volume prevents inventory from clearing. Active listings actually decreased slightly from 402 in September to 391 in October. This modest decline suggests some properties are being withdrawn rather than sold, reinforcing the buyer's advantage.

This sharp decline indicates significant price adjustments as sellers respond to prolonged market exposure. Days on market averaged 156 days in October, compared to 53 days in September. The extended marketing period confirms that buyers have substantial time to negotiate terms and price. The drop in median price coincides with the surge in days on market. Properties remaining unsold for over five months typically require price reductions to attract offers. The October median reflects transactions that likely closed after long listing periods. This pattern suggests that current asking prices exceed what the limited buyer pool is willing to pay.
