New Listings

Median Days in MLS
The median days in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) increased from 5 days in June 2022 to 7 days in June 2023. This represents a modest increase of 2 days year over year. The slight increase suggests that properties may be staying on the market for a slightly longer duration before finding a buyer.
Pending Listings

The increase in weeks of inventory suggests a slightly more balanced market, giving buyers a wider selection of homes to choose from.
