OUTLOOK

As outlined in our Market Outlook at the beginning of the year and again in our 1st Half Report (both available on the Market Data tab at troyercabot.com), continued buyer demand was anticipated throughout 2026, and that is exactly what has unfolded. The limited supply of available homes has remained the defining characteristic of the market, and there is little indication that inventory will increase significantly before the end of the year.

Steady demand, limited inventory, and strong buyer confidence continue to define the local market. A clear indication is 10 homes selling for more than $1 million over list price. With the continued strength of the stock market and the anticipated IPOs of several AI-related companies, buyer confidence is expected to remain strong.

With just 20 homes currently available for sale, plus another 3 being marketed privately, conditions continue to favor sellers. If you are considering a move, this is an excellent time to explore your available opportunities. Troyer & Cabot Group has a long history of efficiently preparing homes for market, positioning them to achieve exceptional results, and guiding clients through every step of the process.
