Tight supply is still shaping this market
🏡📊 Here is the one thing that changes what you should do right now. Pending sales in this market outnumber active listings. That is not a typo.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 885 homes for sale and 968 pending sales across these ZIP codes in the three months ending August 31, 2026. For homeowners, that means a well-priced home can still draw real interest. For buyers, some parts of this market may still feel tight even as more listings show up elsewhere.
Nationally, the picture looks different. Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes for sale nationally in September 2026. That is a lot of supply, but it is not here.
Rates are a real factor right now
Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 8, 2026. Realtor.com noted mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That matters for what buyers can afford and how many are active.
New listings are coming in, but not fast enough
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 1,174 new listings across this market in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That sounds like a lot. But with 968 buyers already under contract, the math stays tight.
How each ZIP code looked
The numbers vary a lot from one ZIP to the next. Here is months of supply, which tells you how long the current stock would last at the current pace of sales. Below 3 months generally favors sellers. Above 6 months generally favors buyers.

Where prices moved year over year
Most ZIP codes saw prices rise compared with the same three months in 2025. A few dipped a little. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6 percent from July 2025 to July 2026. Several ZIP codes here outpaced that.
ZIP 08533 saw the median sale price dip 0.7% year over year, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. ZIP 07762 dropped 26.2%. Not every home sold fast, and not every price went up. That is worth knowing before you pick a number.
How fast homes went under contract
The Real Estate Data Aggregator tracked the share of homes that went under contract within two weeks of listing. In ZIP 08720, that share was 100%. In ZIP 07711, it was 66.7%. In ZIP 08736, it was 50%. Those are not slow markets.
Above-list sales: still happening in most ZIPs
In ZIP 07762, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 66.7% of homes selling above list price. In ZIP 08730, it was 63.2%. In ZIP 07701, it was 58.5%. In ZIP 08759, it was 14.1%. Pricing matters a lot in this market.
- Nationally, supply is rising and Realtor.com reported price cuts hit 20.8% of listings in September 2026, the highest since October 2022. Here, the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 968 buyers under contract and only 885 homes available.
- Most ZIPs have under 3 months of supply.
- Well-priced homes are still drawing strong interest.
- But one street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code.
These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. One street inside a ZIP can look very different from the ZIP-wide average. If you want to know what the numbers say about your specific address, that is where I come in.
