What March's Numbers Tell Us

With 3,019 active listings and 3.46 months of supply, buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in years. The median days on market ticked up to 28 days — still fast by historical standards, but enough of a shift to signal that weekend bidding wars are the exception, not the rule. Here’s where the real leverage lives: 48% of active listings have already cut their price, with an average reduction of 6.3%. Sellers are also accepting offers roughly 2.2% below asking on average, which is 0.4% softer than this time last year. If you’ve been waiting for breathing room, this is what it looks like — not a crash, but a market where patience and negotiation actually pay off.

The single-family median came in at $380,000, up 2.7% year-over-year, so values are holding — but only for homes priced correctly from day one. The data is blunt: nearly half of all listings are getting price reductions within a median of just 18 days on market. Closed homes that had price drops sold for an average of 8.9% below their original list price. That gap between initial list and final sale tells you the market is punishing aspirational pricing faster than ever. Condos and townhomes were softer at $277,500, down 0.9% YoY — a segment that’s been yo-yoing month to month but remains a viable affordability entry point for buyers willing to factor in HOA costs.

The standout number this month isn’t price or DOM — it’s the price-drop rate. When 48% of active listings have already reduced and closed sales averaged an 8–9% haircut from original list to final close, it tells you sellers are still testing the upper boundary and getting corrected quickly. Meanwhile, the overall median at $349,000 barely moved (+0.1% YoY). The market isn’t falling — it’s just done rewarding overpricing. Total volume came in at $390.8 million, down only 0.6%, and 872 homes still closed. This is a market with friction and recalibration, not a market in distress. Homes that are priced right, in good condition, and show well are still moving within a month.
