More homes, same prices.

Prices held steady, and well-priced homes sold faster than in September. But more homes are coming on the market, so buyers have more choices than they’ve had in a while. At 2.5 months of supply, it’s still a seller-leaning market. Balanced is usually around 4 to 6 months.

Cooling, not crashing.

Prices held, homes took a little longer to sell, and buyers had more choices than a year earlier. Still a seller-leaning market, just a calmer one.
