I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me break down what's actually driving this pace.

What the current numbers show

Metric Current Figure
Redfin Compete rating "Very competitive"
Average offers received ~2
Median days on market (one measure) ~6-7 days
Average days on market (another measure) ~21-43 days

Why this range varies more than a single average suggests

Different sources measure different segments — checking your specific target listing's actual activity is more useful than relying on one citywide average.

What actually drives multiple offers here

  1. Accurate, strategic pricing
  2. Move-in-ready condition
