“After the passing of my wife, I made the difficult decision to sell my home and move on from a place that held many memories. My son introduced me to Amy Mosley and her assistant, Brittany, and from the very beginning, they made me feel comfortable and supported. Amy is professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Since I know very little about real estate, she took the time to explain the process and kept me informed every step of the way. Her experience and guidance gave me confidence during what could have been a very overwhelming time. Amy and Brittany make an excellent team, and my experience working with them has been outstanding. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. I would highly recommend Amy Mosley and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year-over-year, Institute’s rolling three-month data shows a sharp shift in pricing, with the median list price down nearly 40 percent compared to the same period last year. At the same time, inventory and seller activity have edged up, as active listings, new listings, and pending sales have all increased modestly over the past year.
In the latest rolling three-month period ending in May 2026, there was just 1 active listing, 1 new listing, and 1 pending sale, highlighting how small changes can significantly influence local trends. Recent history underscores this volatility, with median sale prices ranging from about $55,000 at the end of 2024 to $165,000 in late 2025.
Days on market have also fluctuated, stretching from around 10 days in late 2024 to nearly six months in early 2024, and then settling at roughly two months by the end of 2025. With the market still categorized as a strong seller’s market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands how to navigate these shifting conditions.
