How is the market doing?
That is one of the questions we hear most often. The answer depends on price range, location, condition, timing, and the specific home, but we keep an eye on current MLS Grid data so the conversation starts with real numbers.
For a simple snapshot, here is what has happened with three-bedroom homes since July 23rd:
302
three-bedroom homes listed for sale.
$278,337
average original list price for those new listings, trimmed to reduce outlier noise.
$250,274
average sale price for the 285 three-bedroom homes that closed in the same period.
Those closed homes originally listed for an average of $260,750. That list-to-sale relationship is useful context, but every home still needs its own pricing conversation.
What can we help you do?

After using two Realtors with little success and satisfaction, I turned to
Mariya. We hit it off immediately and she seemed to know exactly what I
was looking for and what I needed. She answered the few questions I hadn't
even thought of yet and was one step ahead of me all the time. The
beginning of my home-buying process was absolutely brutal, but once I found
Mariya it seemed to fly by with few worries. I really felt like she was
on my side, instead of just saying she was. I will absolutely recommend
Mariya to my friends!
