CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS
Seller’s Market In Transition: As of December 27, 2025, Colonial has 128 active listings with a $420,000 median price (average $543,827) and homes averaging 78 days on market. Inventory is relatively tight at 1.9 months, which supports a seller-leaning market—especially for listings that are priced correctly and show well. The wide price range ($81,000 to $4,975,000) and the gap between median and average suggest higher-end inventory is pulling the average upward, meaning buyer behavior can vary by price tier: the best values move, while overpriced listings tend to sit. Practical takeaway: sellers should anchor pricing to the market segment they’re in (not the highest comps), and buyers should focus on stale or recently adjusted listings for negotiation leverage while staying ready to act when a well-priced home hits the market.

“Jane and Vince are by far the best realtors I’ve met. They are professional with deep knowledge of their markets. The best part of working with them is that I never felt rushed or pressured. Jane always gave her honest opinion and I could tell she was genuinely thinking about what was best for me and my family.”
