“My elderly father recently moved out of the Abilene, where he lived for over 50 years, and he wanted to sell his historic home. My dad needed somebody who knew the Abilene community and who was highly knowledgeable about the housing market in Abilene. He wanted somebody he trusted to get his home sold while he relocated thousands of miles away. I contacted Shelly Crane. Shelly has a great deal of real estate knowledge, experience, and has worked with several people who were in similar situations as my dad. She made selling the house effortless for Dad. If anything was needed she was very responsive, and helpful. I can't thank Shelly enough for her thoroughness, dependability, and her reliable communication style. She made selling my father's house a very pleasant event. I would highly recommend Shelly Crane to anyone in need of a real estate agent.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Merriam’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 shows home values and activity moving higher than a year ago. Typical home values are up about 8 percent year over year, while homes sold have increased by more than 11 percent. Pending sales jumped over 24 percent in the same period, underscoring stronger buyer demand than last year.
In the latest three-month view, inventory and new listings have both risen compared with a year ago, yet supply remains extremely limited. Active listings are up about 17 percent annually, but months of supply has fallen to just 0.5, roughly a 30 percent drop year over year, signaling a tight seller’s market. Homes are still moving quickly, with a median of only three days on market and nearly 72 percent selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has climbed to just over 105 percent.
Looking back over the past two years, Merriam has shifted from periods of longer market times and higher inventory to today’s fast-paced conditions. Earlier months in the historical series show double-digit days on market and more than one to two months of supply, while the current stretch combines low inventory with brisk sales. These trends suggest sellers often have the upper hand and buyers must be ready to act decisively. Both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands these conditions and can help them navigate the Merriam market effectively.
