Active Residences (Current Inventory)
Active residences (current inventory) – Last month, I wrote, “We can expect modestly lower numbers into the end of the year,” Inventory decreased more than I anticipated in the last month. As homes expired or were sold, they were not replaced by new inventory. We are now near the same number of homes on the market as we were this time last year. Inventory was at 426 homes on Dec 7, 2025, and is now at 372 as of January 4th, 2026. We should begin to see more inventory come to market in the days ahead.

Median Days on Market For homes sold over the past 30 days
Median DOM (days on market - the time it takes for 50% of homes to leave the market for homes that sold over the past 30 days). Normally, in the fall and winter, median Days on Market remained modestly high and did not spike as they did last year. The range was 27-52 in December/January, and it was 27 on January 9, 2026. Recently, more favorable interest rates have allowed buyers to make offers more quickly and have them accepted. Let’s hope this trend continues.

Number of Homes Pending in the Past 30 Days
Number of pendings over the last 30 days, close-up. Last month, I wrote, “I expect lower numbers into January,” and lower they went. Even though buyers acted more quickly than in previous months, they made fewer offers. The number of homes that went pending decreased from 91 in early December to 64 on January 9, 2026, with a low so far of 61 on January 4. The seasonal low in sales typically occurs in this period, and I expect sales to increase in the weeks ahead.
