In February 2023, the median days on market for single-family homes nearly doubled, surging to 47 days from 13 days in February 2022. The median number of days on the market for condominiums increased to 28 days from 14 days a year ago.

In February 2022, 55% of single-family houses were sold for more than the initial asking price, compared to just 19% in February 2022. Comparatively, only 32% of single-family home sales in February received the full asking price or higher, compared to 73% in February 2017. In February, only 15% of condo sales closed above the initial list price, compared to 37% of condo sales in February 2022. This month, 36% of transactions received the asking price or more, compared to 56% last year.

Even though there were 233 new single-family house listings and 463 new condo listings this month, this was significantly less than the amount of listings introduced to the market in February 2022, down 36.5% for single-family homes and 37.5% for condos, respectively. The most substantial growth in the single-family home market was in the $999,999 and below price category, where there are almost twice as many properties for sale compared to 2022. In the $600,000 to $799,999 price category for condos, the most substantial rise occurred, with 50% more active units than a year before.
