Todd’s Market Take

More homes were available than last October and fewer sold, while the median sale price barely moved. Homes that did sell spent four fewer days in the MLS, so pay attention to how quickly comparable homes are moving in your price range.

Buying? Compare similar listings and their price history before deciding what to offer.

Selling? Set your asking price using recent comparable sales and the homes buyers can tour today.
