April showed active listings decreasing to 175, accompanied by a notable increase in the average sale price, which reached $2,773,472. This trend suggests sustained demand for premium single-family homes, as options on the market became more limited as we get closer to the summer months. May saw a further drop in both active listings and average sale price, with 161 homes listed at an average of $2,261,748. May begins the late Spring market, which usually slows down as owners tend to keep their homes for summer, and buyers prefer to wait for the fall market and more inventory. By June, the situation tightened even more, with only 145 active single-family home listings. The average sale price held steady at $2,352,360, indicating resilience in the market, even as inventory shrank.

In July, just 131 homes were on the market with an average sale price of $2,720,502, followed by August's 119 active listings and an average price that rose slightly to $2,764,596. This significant decrease in inventory during the peak summer months indicates that demand continues to outstrip supply, keeping prices elevated.
