Carthage is currently leaning toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Inventory sits at about 6.1 months of supply on a rolling three-month basis, suggesting more balance than in past tight years. At the same time, an average sale-to-list ratio just under 95% shows buyers still have some room to negotiate.
Over the latest rolling three-month period ending in June 2026, typical home values are down sharply year over year, while the typical home value metric shows a drop of more than a quarter compared with last year. Despite that decline, median list prices are up nearly 10% from a year ago, reflecting sellers’ higher price expectations. Buyer activity has strengthened, with homes sold rising almost 49% year over year and new listings up about 61%, creating more movement on both sides of the table.
Pace is another notable shift, as median days on market over the rolling three-month window has fallen dramatically from a year earlier to roughly 73 days, indicating homes are changing hands more quickly than before. Around 25% of recent sales closed above list price and nearly 38% of homes went off the market within two weeks, signaling strong interest for well-positioned properties.
