What This Means
Davis's housing market is showing signs of summer slowdown after a strong spring. Sales volume dropped significantly month-over-month—from 78 to 52 homes—which is typical for mid-July as many buyers take vacations and families settle into summer routines. What's more telling is that homes are sitting on the market about a week longer than last month, now averaging 69 days. However, sellers still have the upper hand: homes are selling at 99.9% of list price, suggesting a market where pricing is realistic and demand remains steady despite the seasonal dip.
The year-over-year picture is genuinely encouraging for the Davis market. Median prices are up 1.8% compared to July 2025, and we're seeing 26.8% more sales activity annually—solid growth for a college town market. The current inventory of 201 active listings provides reasonable selection for buyers, though it's worth noting that active listings are sitting longer (73 days average) than recently sold homes, indicating sellers may have priced optimistically in some cases.
This is a balanced market right now. The seasonal slowdown is real, but underlying fundamentals suggest Davis remains a desirable location with healthy demand and modest appreciation.
