Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Preston Heights has tightened in the latest rolling three-month period, with active listings down about 26% year over year. New listings have fallen even more sharply, dropping more than 60% from a year ago. Even with fewer homes available, the number of homes sold has risen more than 50% compared with the same period last year, signaling strong buyer follow-through.
Pricing has been adjusting to this dynamic. The typical home value is down about 6% year over year, yet the median list price has surged by roughly 53% over the same span, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices. On top of that, the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped about 9% from last year, indicating buyers still have room to negotiate below list.
Homes are taking much longer to go under contract than a year ago, with median days on market jumping to 71, yet more than half of listings still go off the market within two weeks. Months of supply sits under one month, reinforcing Preston Heights’ status as a seller’s market despite the longer marketing times. With about a third of homes selling above list price and pending sales holding roughly steady year over year, the environment can feel complex to navigate. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and can help them move confidently through this market.

“Selling a home can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Kim Wirtz took control of the process and led me through it. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. I would recommend Kim to sell your home.”
“Originally we were referred by our first lender and we could not have been more fortunate to work with Vicky and Sam. They were professional and realistic regarding our home search. We had not purchased a home in a very long time and Vicky was patient and understanding and was so attentive. avidly referred us to our second lender (the first was not communicative) and it was wonderful. Overall the whole experience was great! Thank you for helping us find our dream home!”
“Barb was 1/20 realtors who was willing to work with me in the beginning over 9 years ago. This is when I first purchased my home. I was cheap buyer. It went without saying I was going to be using her for the sale of the home 9 years later. She handled the hurdles flawlessly and talked me through and coached me the entire way. To say I appreciate her is an understatement. I sold my home after we relocated it of state and she coordinated every logistic of that sale on my behalf to he best of her ability. I recommend her without fail and would point every person in her direction that has a need for a solid realtor.”
“Kathy fought a lot of uphill battles for us and despite hurdles at every turn (with prospective buyer) she pushed on and was able to secure our sale. I can't thank her enough for the amount of work she put in.”
“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
“Kathi was amazing! She kept us informed with every step, and answered every question we had thoroughly. She also saved our bacon a couple times when we weren't sure about something. She's very professional, kind, and attentive”

“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.”
“Lynn Bialy was very knowledgeable and patient with my husband and I. We saw many homes in this crazy market. Lynn Bialy knew what we wanted and notified us of a house on the private listing that checked a majority of our boxes! Sooner than we knew it we had our forever home!”
“The quicker the response the better, and Taylor was always there for me when I had questions I did not experience any issues with Taylor's work and she made everything easy for me, worked around my schedule, even gave me real advise about the neighborhoods I was searching in I was not pressured to do this survey in any way, and I feel she can be trusted handling my close friends and family's home purchase needs”
