Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory in Howard is tight in this rolling three-month view, with only 9 active listings and just 1.1 months of supply, even after a sharp year-over-year drop in that supply measure. Contract activity has picked up compared with a year ago, as homes sold have more than doubled and pending sales are also up strongly.
Pricing is reacting in mixed ways, with the typical home value up nearly 14% year over year while the median list price has edged slightly lower over the same period. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped a bit and only about 17% of homes are selling above list, suggesting buyers are gaining a bit more room to negotiate than before.
Momentum has slowed on the speed side, with the median days on market stretching to 63 days, far above levels seen a year earlier, even as about one in five homes still go off the market within two weeks. With low inventory but softening sale-to-list dynamics, both buyers and sellers in Howard can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these local trends and can guide them through the process.

He made sure we weren't wasting our time and kept us within our budget while getting the most for our money. He is very patient and not pushy at all. Guy genuinely wanted to make sure we would be happy with the homes we chose, never rushing us into a decision. In both buying and selling, we always knew Guy had our best interests in mind.”

“What I appreciated the most about working with Olivia Riley is how well she walked us through every detail and step of the home-buying process. She was extremely responsive and patient with my thousands of questions, and worked seamlessly with our lender, title company and the seller's agent to get everything done in a quick and fast timeline. There were times (outside of our control) that were so stressful and difficult, and she was able to be such a calming and strong presence. Thanks to her professional advice we were able to buy this wonderful home that we LOVE, when there were multiple offers on the table. Thank God we listened to her advice, and they took our offer! She was even able to be super assertive when she needed to be, which then allowed us to be in our new house by Christmas! We would recommend Olivia to anyone looking to buy a home! She is the BEST!”
