Two of this month's Pfafftown numbers look like they can't both be true at the same time. The typical home is now going under contract in about 13 days, down from 26 a year ago,  twice as fast. And yet the supply of homes for sale has grown by nearly a quarter over that same stretch. Faster sales usually mean tighter inventory, not more of it. So there's something more interesting happening here than a simple “hot” or “cold” verdict, and it's worth understanding whether or not you have any plans to sell.

If you'd rather watch than read, this month's full video update is at the top of the page. Everything below stands on its own and goes a little deeper on the piece I think matters most right now.

The short version is this: Pfafftown isn't one market at the moment. It's two. And the widening gap between them explains almost everything else in June's data.

Market Snapshot

Here's where June stands, compared with the same month a year ago. I'll interpret the numbers that matter below. For now, this is simply the lay of the land.

•   New listings: 29, up from 27 in June 2025 (about 7% more)
•   Closed sales: 24, up from 21 a year ago (about 14% more)
•   Median days on market, rolling 90-day: 13, down from 15 in May and 26 last June (a 50% year-over-year drop)
•   Median sale price, rolling 90-day: $345,000, down from $366,250 last month
•   Median sale price, rolling 12-month: $335,250, down from $344,900 a year ago (about 3%)
•   Months of supply, June: 3.8, up from 3.1 a year ago (about 23% more)
•   Months of supply, rolling 90-day: 3.0, up from 2.7

The speed is real

Start with the number that jumps out first. Over the last 90 days, the median Pfafftown home went under contract in 13 days. A year ago that figure was 26. Cutting the typical time-to-contract in half over twelve months is a meaningful move, and it isn't the product of one unusually fast week — it held across the whole rolling quarter, and it improved again from May's 15 days.

Thirteen days is fast in practical terms. It's a home listed on a Thursday, shown hard over the weekend, and under contract early the following week. If this were the only figure in the report, the takeaway would be obvious: Pfafftown is on fire. And demand backs that up. Twenty-four homes closed in June against 21 last year, off 29 new listings against 27. More homes arrived, and more homes sold. This is not a market stalling out.

But inventory is rising anyway

Here's the part that doesn't fit the “on fire” story. Months of supply — how long it would take to sell everything currently listed if not one new home came on — rose to 3.8 in June, up from 3.1 a year ago. That's a 23% increase. Even the smoother 90-day figure ticked up, from 2.7 to 3.0.

So homes are selling twice as fast, and the pile of unsold homes is growing at the same time. Those two facts can only coexist if the homes selling quickly and the homes adding to supply are two different groups of homes. And that is exactly what the data shows.

Why there are suddenly more homes to choose from

The reason supply is climbing is the simplest part of the story. This spring, Pfafftown has seen more inventory come onto the market than in any spring since 2022. It hasn't arrived as a single flood; it's been a steady, month-after-month wave. Sellers who spent the last couple of years on the sidelines are finally listing.

More listings mean buyers have more to choose from than they've had in years, and buyers with choices behave differently than buyers without them. That one shift — from taking whatever comes up to comparing and deciding — is what splits the market in two.

The split

When inventory rises, the textbook expectation is that everything softens a little: every seller waits a bit longer and negotiates a bit harder across the board. That is not what June shows. Instead of nudging every home in the same direction, the added competition is sorting homes into two very different outcomes.

One group is selling in 13 days, in 8 days, sometimes the same day. These are the homes that came on prepared, presented well, and priced against real comparable sales rather than hope. When buyers have options, a home like this stands out immediately, and it often draws more than one interested buyer at once.

The other group sits — for two, three, even five months. A year ago, when buyers had almost nothing to choose from, these same homes still sold reasonably quickly because there was no alternative. Today there is an alternative, usually several, so buyers tour, compare, and keep moving. Those are the homes stacking up inside the supply number.

So the rising inventory isn't hurting the well-prepared sellers. If anything, it's helping them, because every overpriced or under-prepared home that lingers nearby makes the sensibly priced home next door look that much stronger by comparison. That last point is a professional observation rather than a data point — but it's a pattern I watch repeat almost every week.

About that price “drop”

There's one figure in this month's report that looks alarming until you see what's underneath it. The rolling 90-day median sale price came in at $345,000, down from $366,250 the month before — about 6% in a single month. Read in a headline, that sounds like Pfafftown values just fell. They didn't.

Pfafftown is a small market — a couple dozen sales in a typical month. When the sample is that small, a handful of unusual sales can swing the median hard in either direction. Over the previous few months, several high-end homes closed here, some near or above a million dollars. Those sales pulled the 90-day median up. As they roll out of the 90-day window, the median settles back to where the everyday market actually lives.

That's not depreciation; it's a change in the mix of homes selling, not in what any individual home is worth. June's own sold list makes the point: it includes a sale above $900,000, while the typical June sale landed solidly in the mid-$400s. The longer 12-month median tells the calmer, truer story — $335,250 against $344,900 a year ago, a difference of about 3%, which is essentially flat for a market this size. So let me say it plainly: Pfafftown has not seen a meaningful price shift, and your home did not lose value last month.

A tale of two homes

The cleanest way to see the split is to picture two homes that come on close to each other — similar area, the same buyers driving past both.

The first arrives ready. It's been prepped, it photographs well, and it's priced from day one off real comparable data. It's under contract in days.

The second is actually the larger home. On paper you'd expect it to fetch more. But it comes on a little overpriced and a little under-prepared, and it sits. Buyers tour it, weigh it against everything else they can now choose from, and keep moving. Weeks pass, and when it finally sells, it sells for less than the smaller home nearby.

That's the whole market in a sentence. Buyers aren't simply paying for square footage anymore; they're paying for condition, presentation, and confidence that the price is honest. June's sold list shows both stories side by side — roughly half of the homes went under contract within two weeks, while five of them took anywhere from two to five months.

What This Market Actually Feels Like

From the buyer's chair, this market feels calmer than last year without feeling soft. There are genuinely more homes to consider than at any point since 2022, and on a home that's overpriced or under-prepared, buyers now feel free to wait, negotiate, or simply pass — leverage they didn't have twelve months ago. But that patience is selective. The good listings still disappear in days and still draw competition, so there's no leisure on the homes actually worth having. The rebalancing is real, and for buyers it's good news, provided they're disciplined enough to move fast on the right home and stay patient on the rest.

From the seller's chair, the experience now depends almost entirely on decisions made before the sign goes in the yard. Sellers who do the unglamorous work first — repairs, decluttering, good photography, and an honest price — are still having the fast, strong-price experience that defined the last few years. Sellers who skip that work and lead with an optimistic number are increasingly having the opposite experience: quiet weeks, a suspicious buyer pool, and a series of price cuts that chase the market down. Both are happening in the same town in the same month, and that's not opinion; it's what the sold data shows.

My professional read, for whatever it's worth after watching these numbers every day, is that this divide is likely to keep widening as long as inventory keeps climbing. The room for a “let's just test a high price and see” strategy is thinner than it's been in years. That part is an observation, not a promise — but the direction of the data supports it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Pfafftown home values drop in June? No. The 6% dip in the 90-day median reflects a change in the mix of homes that sold, not a change in value. Several luxury sales rolled out of the 90-day measurement window, pulling the median back toward the everyday market. The 12-month median is down only about 3%, which is effectively flat for a market this small.

Homes are selling faster, but there are more of them for sale — how? Because the fast sales and the growing inventory are two different groups of homes. Well-prepared, well-priced homes are going under contract in about 13 days. Overpriced or under-prepared homes are sitting for months, and those are the ones accumulating in the supply figure.

Is it still a good time to sell? It can be an excellent time, but the outcome depends more on preparation and pricing than it did a year ago. The homes selling quickly, and for full value, are the ones that come on clean, well-photographed, and priced against real comparable sales from the very first day.

What's the biggest mistake sellers are making right now? Pricing high to “test the market.” Now that buyers finally have choices, a home that comes on too high tends to sit, collect doubt, and then require price cuts — often ending up below what it would have brought in its first two weeks at the right number.

Is this a buyer's market now? Not quite. At 3.8 months of supply, Pfafftown is still a seller's market — balance usually sits closer to six months — but it's a seller's market that's loosening. Buyers have more room than they did, especially on homes that aren't priced or prepared well.

Key Takeaways

•   Pfafftown is really two markets right now: prepared, well-priced homes selling in about 13 days, and everything else sitting for months.
•   The typical home sold twice as fast as a year ago (13 days versus 26), even as inventory rose about 23% — because those are two different groups of homes.
•   The 6% one-month price “drop” is a mix shift from luxury sales leaving the 90-day window, not a real decline. Prices are stable.
•   Spring brought the most new inventory since 2022, giving buyers more choices and sharpening the divide between prepared and unprepared homes.
•   For sellers, speed and top dollar now arrive together — and both come down to preparation and price, which a seller controls completely.
