Where the market leans
Balanced
| Measure | This month | Votes sellers | Votes buyers | Vote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pending ÷ active listings | 0.41 | ≥ 0.75 | ≤ 0.30 | Neither |
| Median days on market | 80 | ≤ 40 | ≥ 60 | Buyers |
| Price-reduced ÷ active listings | 38% | ≤ 30% | ≥ 40% | Neither |
| Active listings vs. a year earlier | −5.4% | ≤ −10% | ≥ +10% | Neither |
How we read this: each of the four measures votes for buyers or sellers when it passes the threshold shown. A side needs at least two more votes than the other. If neither side has more than one vote, the market is balanced. Any other split, or a missing figure, gets no label. It is the same rule our weekly market posts use.
