In March 2026, the local market showed relatively high prices alongside slower movement, with a median list price of about $749,900 and a median of 125 days on market. Inventory remained limited at just 10 homes, and with an average sale-to-list ratio of 1.0 and no homes selling above list, buyers appear to have room to negotiate.
