Inventory: April listings (910) decreased 1.2% from March and increased 30.2% from one year ago. At the current sales pace, all the active inventory on the market would sell in 3.9 months, up from 3.4 months in March, and up from 2.5 months in April 2025. The equilibrium point where buyers and sellers have roughly equal bargaining power is roughly 6 months of supply.

The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
