Roughly 53% of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially full price at 1.0002. In March there were 9 active listings, 13 new listings, and 17 pending sales, showing steady demand despite softer listing prices. Looking to April 2026, typical values are projected to reach about $375,750 with a projected median list price near $340,050 and similar inventory around 9 homes. In this kind of shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent.

“Mark Smith was very patient in helping me review forms to complete the sell, as this was my first time selling a home. Always in contact with me and kept me up to date on the status.”

She was relentless in making sure everything stayed on track, consistently keeping my lenders on schedule and pushing the process forward without delays. Her dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She truly delivered excellent service from start to finish, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a committed and results-driven realtor.”
“Bonnie was amazing. She was considerate of what I wanted in a home and never gave up on me and never offered me anything less. She took the time to look at many homes and was very supportive, encouraging and motivating. She has such a great personality and so much passion for her clients and goes the extra mile.

“We had a good time working together, the sale and the buy of houses we're pretty seamless all the documentation and the heads up of signing and sending she was on top of any questions that we needed answered if she couldn't do it in that moment, she would always get back to us promptly can't wait to get another house through Janely. Thanks again.”
“Zachary Newman was awesome. I was very fortunate to have him as my first realtor ever. He was extremely knowledgeable. He became well acquainted with what i was looking for and what I may qualify for under my pre-qualified loan terms. On a number of occasions, we would visit a potential property, and he would easily identify possible problems that would either hinder the ability of the property to get approved under my mortgage terms, or may pose a problem down the road. He gave very sound advice and/or pointed out red flags when looking at homes. He was very responsive in all of our correspondence; to the point where I was hearing hiccups and issues regarding the approval of my loan from him first, before my mortgage loan team would alert me. More than often, he would have a offer written up for potential home in less than a day. He was patient with me as we looked at a number of homes and did not show any frustration with my hesitancy toward certain homes. I cannot thank him enough for viewing homes on my schedule, sometimes driving across town to show me a home late into the evening due to my work schedule. I will definitely use Zach again should i ever buy or sell in the years to come.”
