Last update: Sept. 9, 2026, 7:47 p.m. Source: IAR MLS Data Warehouse Data notes: Days on market is the time from listing to pending for listings that went under contract within the period. This is calculated as the difference between listing date and pending date. To filter out erroneous data, this filters out listings with a pending date before 2017. There is delay in entering pending dates, so recent months represent only the portion of sales with a pending date. Expected values were refit in August 2026 and now align to the month they describe.
