Summary answer: It's genuinely mixed — one measure shows the median down 2.7% year-over-year, while Zillow's separate readings show modest gains of 0.3%-1.0%, and homes can still go pending in as few as 7-8 days. This looks like normal market variance rather than a clean slowdown.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me break down what's actually behind this.
The numbers that tell the real story
| Indicator | Reading |
|---|---|
| Redfin median (one measure) | -2.7% YoY |
| Zillow typical value | +0.3% to +1.0% YoY |
| Fastest days-to-pending measure | ~7-8 days |
Why this genuinely mixed data doesn't point to a clean slowdown
Different sources measuring different segments and time windows explain much of this variance — checking real, recent comparables matters more than any single headline number.
