Inventory: January listings (244) increased 22.0% from December and increased 42.7% from one year ago. Months of supply (inventory to sales ratio) increased from 2.0 to 3.0 year over year, reflecting a market where seller’s generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The area’s median sales price in January was $230,000, an increase of 15.3% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.1% from December.
