Van Buren currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a solid seller’s market. Months of supply sit at just 1.8 in this rolling three-month view, pointing to tight inventory. Homes also move quickly, with a median of only 14 days on market.
Price trends show a mixed picture for this latest three-month period. The typical home value is down compared with a year ago, while the median list price has edged slightly higher year over year, suggesting sellers are still pricing with confidence even as closing prices soften somewhat. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has climbed over the past year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is now above 105 percent, underlining strong buyer competition for well-priced homes.
Activity has picked up noticeably, with active listings and new listings both higher than a year ago, giving buyers more options even in a seller-leaning environment. Pending sales have jumped more than 30 percent year over year in this rolling three-month window, indicating solid demand and a steady pipeline of future closings. With homes often going under contract within two weeks and many selling above asking, it is important for buyers to be strategic and for sellers to price smartly, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these conditions.
