August 2026 — Kristyn's Take
“Inventory across the region has opened up considerably since the spring, and homes are now taking around five weeks to sell rather than going in a matter of days. That's a healthier, more balanced market than we've had in some time. For sellers, it means preparation and pricing matter again: well-presented homes priced to current data are still moving, while the ones chasing last year's peak are sitting. For buyers, there's more choice and more room to negotiate than you've had in several years, and it's worth using that before the fall market picks back up. Reach out if you'd like to talk through what these numbers mean for your specific situation.”

About these town figures
Town-level numbers above come from homes Boynton Realty listed and closed, not from market-wide MLS statistics. We only publish a town's median once we have enough recent sales there for it to mean something — otherwise the card says so. For a figure specific to your home and street, ask Kristyn for a market analysis.

*Town-level figures reflect Boynton Realty's own recent closed sales (via SmartMLS) and are not market-wide medians. Regional market context (active listings, median list price, days on market) reflects Realtor.com data for the broader area and is not town-specific. Figures update regularly and may not reflect same-day changes. For the most current information on a specific property or town, contact Kristyn directly.
