"Active listings reached 1,123 homes in March, up 3.6% year over year, well below the national inventory growth rate of 6.2%. New listings rose 3.8% - faster than the national pace of 0.7% - yet buyer demand absorbed most of that supply."
"The median list price held at $265,000 in March - flat year over year - while national prices dropped 2.1% to $416,000. The share of listings with a price cut fell to 19%, down 2.6 percentage points from a year ago."
"The median home sat on the market for 44 days, up 4.8% from a year ago, yet still 13 days faster than the national median of 57 days."
