This week’s read
After four weeks pinned at MAI 44, 98682 ticked down to 43 — and inventory jumped 16 listings to 154, the biggest one-week build in the zip's run. Absorption slowed at the top quartile around $935K, which cleared 3 of 7 new (down from 7 of 5 last week), and the bottom quartile DOM stretched 7 days to 35. Still the highest MAI in the dataset, but the cushion is thinner: more inventory, slower clearing, cuts up to 38%. The most stable market is loosening.

“The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.”
