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

Year-over-year, Serena’s housing activity reflects a small, tight market with relatively few listings changing hands at any given time. Active listings have generally hovered between one and three over the past few years, and the market gauge now places Serena firmly in seller’s market territory.

Looking at this rolling three-month view through June 2026, there are just 2 active listings and 2 pending sales, signaling that most homes that come up for sale are moving toward contract. Pending sales in the latest period have doubled compared with early 2026, pointing to stronger buyer engagement despite limited inventory.

Longer-term data shows how prices and pace have shifted, with median sale prices in past Junes ranging from about $156,000 in 2023 to nearly $235,000 in late 2022, while days on market have swung from just over a month to around four months. With Serena’s small sample size and changing conditions, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended professional who understands this local market and can guide them through each step of the process.

“Kim was hands down the best realtor we could have asked for! Buying and selling a home at the same time was stressful, but she made the entire process so much easier. She was always one step ahead, kept us informed, answered every question, and truly had our best interests at heart. When communication with the buyers' agent became difficult, Kim stayed on top of everything, followed up constantly, and worked tirelessly to keep the sale moving forward. Her persistence played a huge role in making sure we didn't lose the deal. Most importantly, we never felt like just another client. Kim genuinely cared about our family and went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring realtor!”

“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.”
