December sales showed healthy demand with 8 closings, including several around the $1.4M–$1.5M mark.

The fast DOM of 18 days shows that well-priced homes are moving quickly.
🧠 Market Analysis
Compared to November, prices remained relatively stable, but there’s a noticeable gap between list and sold prices — particularly in the higher end of the market. While sellers are still pricing ambitiously, buyers are cautious and negotiating with confidence. Despite holiday season slowdowns, demand hasn’t disappeared, especially for move-in ready or recently upgraded homes.
As of now, there’s about 1.5 months of inventory, meaning Civita remains a strong seller’s market by definition. However, buyer psychology is more cautious — and price sensitivity is real.
🧭 Looking Ahead
With interest rates showing signs of easing and a strong start to the year historically common for Civita, we expect renewed buyer activity heading into January and February. If you’re thinking of listing in early 2026, now is the time to prepare — before competition ramps up.
