Market watch Monday watch!

Exactly what was eggspected. The market paused for the Easter week holiday and fell considerably in most categories. New Listings were down 40% from week to week, falling from 797 to 570 and 8% from 2024. Pendings were down 17%, posting 376 vs. 440 the previous week and down 23% from 2024. Closed Transactions were down slightly, falling 5% from 563 to 537.

Coming Soon was a bright spot, improving 31% week over week and posting 457 vs. 348. Active/Under Contract was down slightly, falling 5% and posting 394 vs. 416. However, the combination of Active/ Under Contract and Pendings shows a promising 770 transactions moving towards closing.

This week will be an interesting one to watch. We are coming out of the Easter Holiday week and weekend and into the last full week of April. There have been over 1350 new listings in the last two weeks. As a result, New Pendings and Active/ Under Contract should be solid this week.

Lastly, with the number of Pendings and Active/Under Contract the last several weeks, we should be in for a solid week of closed transactions.

We are excited for upcoming closings and just starting the process with new clients :). If you are thinking about buying or selling and curious about the market? Call, email or PM us Sandy Gardner Brill, Emily Miller & Mike Gardner.

New listings were also up 19% over the same week in 2024. Pendings were up 14% week over week, posting 410 vs 359, and a healthy 17% over the same week in 2024.

Closed Transactions were up 16%, 579 vs 498, and flat when compared to 2024. Active/ Under Contract posted 360, down a bit from the previous week’s 376. Coming soon came in at 370, while Price Reductions crossed the 300 barrier for the first time in 2025, posting 307.

One of Emily Miller, Sandy Gardner Brill & Mike Gardners brokers said it best, "the market is strong, inventory is improving, and buyers are out in droves with multiple offers continuing to be the norm and not the exception. Buyers need to be wary of becoming complacent, believing that because inventory is improving, they have more time to act and can ask more from the seller. Yes, there are pockets in the market where this might be true, but when the buyer finds the right house, they need to act quickly and decisively."
