Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means
Brentwood's housing market is showing mixed signals heading into late summer. While sales volume jumped 26.6% year-over-year, this likely reflects improved data collection rather than a true surge in buyer activity. The more telling indicator is that homes are sitting on the market about a week longer than they did last month, now averaging 72 days. This suggests the market is cooling slightly as we move deeper into summer, a typical pattern when fewer families are actively house hunting.
Price trends paint an interesting picture. The median has edged up 1.4% month-over-month, but that's overshadowed by a 6.6% decline year-over-year, indicating prices have softened considerably over the past year. Notably, sellers are accepting 98.9% of their asking prices on average, which is healthy but not exceptional—suggesting reasonable market balance rather than a hot seller's market. With 279 active listings available, buyers have decent inventory to choose from, though the pipeline of new homes isn't flowing aggressively.
Overall, Brentwood feels like a settled market: prices are moderating, competition is moderate, and the pace is steady but unhurried. It's a buyer-friendly environment compared to last summer, though not dramatically so.
