Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Year-over-year, Hillsborough’s rolling three-month data shows prices edging higher while some listing metrics have softened. The typical home value is up about 4 percent from a year ago, even as the median list price has dropped roughly 8 percent, signaling that sellers may be pricing more conservatively than before.

Looking at supply and activity, inventory has expanded over the past year while demand has also strengthened. Active listings are up nearly 10 percent, yet homes sold have climbed more than 20 percent and pending sales are up about one-third, all within this rolling three-month window.

In the latest period ending July 2026, Hillsborough is firmly in a seller’s market with about 2.4 months of supply and a median of 35 days on market. Roughly 20 percent of homes sold above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, indicating buyers still need to be competitive while sellers must stay realistic. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands these trends and can guide them through the Hillsborough market.

“Working with Pamela was an answer to our family's prayers. Selling a home can be a wild and stressful journey, especially when you are juggling a simultaneous purchase with shifting dates, but Pamela navigated all the twists and turns with ease and got our house sold in exactly 19 days! Her communication is top-notch, and she took so much of the burden off our plate, making a highly stressful situation feel easy and manageable despite the very tight deadlines. I've never met someone who cares about their craft with such a high level of professionalism, heart, and dedication. She completely shattered our expectations and delivered results far greater than I ever hoped for. 'Above and beyond' doesn't even begin to describe how impressed we are with her. Pamela is, without a doubt, the greatest realtor by a mile. If you need a listing agent, she is the one!”

She did all the legwork, and found me the perfect neighborhood, the perfect home! She was there EVERY step of the way, through the inspections, the paperwork... She was so knowledgeable, and professional. We were so in sync, I trusted her completely , and boy did she deliver! Attention to detail was an understatement for her , she's sharp as a tack lol, nothing gets past her. Thank you Leslie Smolkowicz, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You are the prime example of the phrase of having a "passion for what you do, and you will excel" it certainly shows . God Bless”
