Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Hillcrest’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 points to notable year-over-year shifts in pricing and pace. Typical home values are down compared with a year ago, while the median list price has surged, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices even as values trend lower.

Inventory and activity have both expanded in this rolling period. Active listings, new listings, and pending sales are all up sharply from a year earlier, and months of supply has climbed to about two months, giving buyers somewhat more choice even though conditions still favor sellers.

Speed and negotiation patterns have also changed markedly over the past year. Homes are taking much longer to sell on a median of 56 days, yet a sizable share still goes under contract within two weeks and about two-thirds of recent sales closed above list with sale-to-list ratios near full price, so Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these mixed signals.

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”

“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
