Inventory in Valley Falls has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up slightly year over year and reaching 115. New listings have risen more sharply, climbing nearly 30 percent from a year ago, which gives buyers more options than they had last spring. Even with more homes on the market, pending sales are only slightly below last year, suggesting steady buyer interest.
Contract activity has picked up from earlier in the year, with homes sold nearly doubling compared with the prior three-month period, while pending sales also increased strongly month over month. Despite the added supply and increased contract flow, the market gauge still points to a seller’s market, indicating that sellers retain some leverage in negotiations.
Prices are reacting gradually to these conditions. The typical home value is up a bit more than 2 percent year over year, and the median list price is also slightly higher than a year ago, showing modest upward pressure rather than big swings. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 109 and months of supply increasing compared with last year, signs that buyers have more time and choices than before. A smaller share of homes are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is hovering just under 100 percent, so accurate pricing matters.
