Happy Spring! Looking at the first four months of the year, the Ocean View real estate market has shown a modest slowdown compared to 2025—but there are important trends for property owners and buyers to keep in mind.
As the chart illustrates, both the number of sales and sales volume in dollars are down year-to-date. Inventory has increased 4% compared to the same time last year and pace has slowed slightly with most properties taking about 20 days to go under contract. The market is shifting toward a more balanced environment which means strategy, pricing, and timing are more important than ever. With the busy summer season right around the corner, this is a prime opportunity to prepare for a successful sale or purchase!
