“Kevin and The Sold by Starkey Team were phenomenal! As first time homebuyers who had very little idea of the process, but had properties already in mind, Kevin was able to jump right in getting us information and putting offers in. Him and Autumn were involved in every step of the process, handling as much of the communication as they could and providing guidance in times of uncertainty, which took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. We will 100% be recommending them to everyone!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Year over year, Sanford’s rolling three-month data shows prices holding relatively steady while activity has shifted. The typical home value is down only a few percent from last June, landing around the low $300,000s. At the same time, homes sold in this period have fallen more than 20 percent compared with a year ago, signaling slower buyer demand than last summer.
Inventory has expanded notably in this rolling window, with active listings up more than 10 percent year over year to just over 400 homes. Months of supply has roughly doubled from last June to about 4.3 months, indicating buyers now have considerably more options than they did a year ago. Even with that added supply, the average sale-to-list ratio is close to 99 percent, so sellers are still achieving prices near their asking levels.
Looking at the latest three-month snapshot through June 2026, homes are spending a median of 66 days on the market, much longer than two years ago when many sold in about two weeks. Only about 7 percent of sales are closing above the list price in this period, down sharply from roughly one in five last June. With 203 new listings and 176 pending sales in this rolling view, the flow of properties coming on and off the market remains active but more balanced. In these changing conditions, both buyers and sellers in Sanford can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands the numbers behind this shift.

“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!”
