At the pace of the last 12 months (754 sales, about 63 a month), that is roughly 5 months of supply — a balanced market by the usual yardstick, where under four months favors sellers and over six favors buyers. It is not a market where everything sells: 267 listings expired or were withdrawn over the same 12 months, about 26% of all that came off the market, which is why pricing to the record matters more than the asking price down the street.
