Civita Market Update May 2026
May brought a more active feel to the Civita market. Inventory continued to rise, buyers had more options to choose from, and pending activity improved compared with the prior month. While closed sales remained limited, the broader picture points to a market that is becoming more balanced rather than simply slowing down.
What stood out this month
There were 25 active listings in May, up from 22 in April, while months supply of inventory moved to 6.7. Inventory remains elevated compared with tighter periods of the market, giving buyers more choices across Civita.
May had 2 closed sales, with both the average and median sales price coming in at $805,000. Average and median price per square foot both finished at $673. With a smaller number of closings, the monthly pricing data should be viewed with context.
One of the more encouraging signs was market time. Homes that sold in May averaged 32 days on market, suggesting that buyers are still moving when a home is priced and positioned well. At the same time, the increase in inventory means sellers need to be thoughtful about pricing, presentation, and how their home compares to current competition.
