Kealan's read · July 2026

Holden's numbers describe a market unlike any other I cover: the $481K median and $492K average sit about $11K apart — the narrowest band of my twelve towns — and only around 355 sales close in a typical year, the fewest anywhere I work. In a band that tight, pricing is rarely the puzzle; the market has effectively already set the number within a few percent. My read for July: what separates outcomes here is velocity and terms — with so few listings active at any moment, a prepared home entering the market owns its week, while the one that drifts on-market surrenders the scarcity advantage and invites condition negotiations that a tight band can't absorb.
