August saw a dip in new listings, but active listings are at the highest level for the year, but they’re still at a historically low level.

36% of active listings (93) are below $500K, but this price range makes up 54% of all sales year to date

34% of active listings (88) are between $500K-$1M, this price range makes up 33% of all sales year to date

29% of active listings (75) are over $1M, but this price range only makes up 13% of all sales year to date.

We are just past the halfway mark of 2023, so let’s look back🧐 Year to date we are seeing that closed sales are down approximately -29% compared to the same time last year. Median sales price is up about +15% compared to the same time last year. The number of active listings has grown slightly month over month but still lags behind last year.
