I’ve been watching this market for a long time. March surprised me.
Rates climbed back above 6%. Tariff headlines were everywhere. Most people assumed buyers would sit tight.
They didn’t.
Pending sales jumped 31% in a single month. Days on market cut in half — down to just 16 days. Homes were closing at 99.13% of list price. Well-priced properties in good locations were seeing multiple offers again.
New inventory came in too — up nearly 20% from February. Buyers absorbed it quickly. The median close price rose to $590,000. The story wasn’t one neighborhood or one price point. It was broad.
If you’re in Jefferson County specifically — single family inventory is down 7.7% year over year with only 1.9 months of supply. Sold listings up 13%. That market is tight right now.
Here’s what I keep telling people who’ve been waiting for the right moment: the buyers who showed up in March despite everything going on — rates, uncertainty, noise — those are serious, motivated buyers. They’re not waiting for perfect conditions. They’ve already decided to move.
If you’ve been sitting on a decision, spring is here and the data is giving you something real to work with.
