Inventory on the Greater East Side tightened in February 2026, with 47 homes for sale after a sharp 12.96% drop from the prior month. New listings came in at 60, only 1.64% below last year, while pending sales reached 65 despite a 7.14% year-over-year decline. Buyers are seeing fewer choices than in January, but many homes are still going under contract.
Homes are moving a bit faster, with the median time on market at 27.5 days, down 1.79% month over month and more than 11% lower than a year ago. That pace, combined with a Seller's Market gauge of 7, shows that sellers still hold an edge even as conditions shift slightly.
Pricing is adjusting to this balance, with the typical home value at $266,750, up 5.64% from last year but down 1.2% from the prior month and a bit below St. Paul’s $292,359. The median list price sits at $265,000, off 1.49% month over month, and nearly 43% of recent sales closed above asking even though the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 0.99. Projections for March suggest a modest easing, with typical values around $265,125, a median list price near $263,000, and inventory dipping toward 43 homes.
