Summary answer: No — quite the opposite. The regional median just hit $500,000 for the first time in June 2026, up 4% year-over-year, with sales volume also up compared to the prior year. The "somewhat competitive" day-to-day pace reflects a steadier, more sustainable market rather than a slowdown.

| Homes sold (Apr 2026, one measure) | 932, up from 773 the prior year |
Why the market's calmer pace isn't a warning sign
Genuine, sustained appreciation alongside rising sales volume points to healthy, durable demand — not a market losing steam.
