What the inventory suggests
There were 2,255 active listings and 472 sales in the supplied table, producing 4.8 months of inventory. That indicates buyers had choices. It does not mean every properly positioned home needed that long to sell.
What price measures can and cannot say
The median sale price was $509,722 and the average was $551,723. Those values describe the homes sold in the month. They are not an estimate for a specific address and should not be used to add or subtract a standard premium for waterfront, renovation, age, or luxury.
What the sale-to-list ratio suggests
The reported sale-to-list ratio was 99.8%. A ratio near 100% does not prove that the original asking price was correct, that every home sold near list, or that a particular negotiation will follow the same pattern.
Against the same month last year
Sales -5.0%, new listings -2.7%, active listings +1.9%, average price +0.1%, and median price +0.9%. Fewer sales against more standing inventory is what moves months of inventory, and it is the part of this table a seller feels first.

What a seller could do with this information
First, identify the real property segment. Second, review current alternatives as carefully as recent sales. Third, resolve documentation and preparation questions before photography. Finally, decide how activity and feedback will be reviewed during the first 30 and 90 days.
