What we’re seeing
The heart of the market
Most of the inventory sits in the $2M to $3M range, where 14 homes are for sale. Most new listings this month are also at this level, at a median of $2.3M. For buyers, this is the price point with the most choice going into the fall.
Scarcity at the entry point
Homes under $2M remain scarce. Only 9 are on the market, and just two are under $1.2M. Well-priced homes at this level still tend to draw strong interest.
New construction at the top
Nine listings were built in 2017 or later, seven of them this year, and most are priced between $4M and $9M. They offer finished, move-in-ready space for buyers who don’t want a renovation.
Character still defines the town
Nearly a third of the homes for sale were built before 1950. For sellers of these homes, thoughtful presentation makes a real difference against new construction.
