Actionable Playbook
- Sellers: Single Family Residences are closing fastest overall at 81.3 days, and the $500K–$999K price band is moving quickest countywide at 79 days — sellers in that band and property type should expect a shorter runway to close when priced accurately.
- Buyers: The Under $500K band, while the highest-volume segment, is also the slowest-moving at 92.6 days on average, and Englewood is the slowest city among top submarkets at 111.4 days — both may offer more room to negotiate for patient buyers.
- Investors: The Under $500K band remains the highest-volume segment countywide, making it the area with the deepest pool of transaction activity to track.
- Luxury properties priced at $1 million and above averaged 84 days on the market across 25 closings this week, with a luxury median sold price of $1,300,000 — upper-tier sellers should plan for a slightly longer marketing runway than the fastest-moving mid-market bands.
