The July median sold price was $546,000. The median active list price was $575,000. The market had 2.05 months of inventory. The median time on market was 20 days. The sold-to-list price percentage was 100.2%. The median sold price changed 0.39% month over month. The median list price changed 0.9% month over month.

A seller's market classification does not remove the need for accurate pricing or preparation. Buyers still benefit from clear priorities and disciplined terms. Sellers may have useful negotiating leverage, but property condition remains important. The difference between asking and sold medians shows why timing and comparison matter. A move involving two transactions requires a sequence rather than separate decisions. The reported time-on-market figure supports readiness before making a serious offer. Your personal deadline should carry more weight than a generalized market label.
Map your financing, reserves, and preferred timing before choosing a direction. If selling first, prepare the home and documents before shopping seriously. If buying first, confirm how the purchase affects your monthly obligations and flexibility. Use comparable sales to set expectations for the home you may sell. Tour only properties that fit your priorities and verified financial plan. Build contingency and inspection decisions into the transaction strategy. Review both sides together so your next move does not depend on guesswork.
