Thank you for laying this out so clearly. The long view really matters, and seeing sales still well below the 2021–2022 peak while prices continue to inch upward tells an important story about supply, demand, and buyer behavior. The rise in seller-paid concessions and days on market adds useful context for anyone pricing or negotiating in today’s market. Data-driven perspectives like this are invaluable for setting realistic expectations.

That is still a mostly positive report with trends still slightly higher although not with as large a percentage as previous years.
