Limited Supply Strengthens Overall Market Performance
The Shadow Valley residential market showed a notable shift between the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025, characterized by rising sales activity, tightening inventory, and more deliberate buyer behavior. While pricing moderated slightly, overall market performance strengthened due to limited supply rather than weakened demand.
Closed sales increased from 13 homes in Q4 2024 to 18 homes in Q4 2025, signaling improved market momentum. This gain occurred alongside a sharp decline in new listings, which fell from 13 to just 8 homes year over year. The combination of higher sales and fewer listings points to stronger absorption and increasing competition for well-positioned properties.
Median days on market rose from 27 to 44 days, reflecting greater buyer caution and sensitivity to pricing. Even so, the market continued to clear inventory, indicating that homes priced appropriately were still able to attract qualified buyers. The median sold price slipped modestly from $725,000 to $705,250, while median asking prices adjusted more significantly, highlighting a period of seller recalibration rather than market softening.
Outlook for 2026
Looking ahead, Shadow Valley is expected to remain relatively stable in 2026, with limited inventory continuing to shape market conditions. If new listings remain constrained, prices are likely to hold steady or experience modest appreciation. Buyer demand should persist, though success will favor sellers who price strategically and present homes competitively. Overall, the neighborhood appears positioned for a balanced market with selective upward pressure driven by supply limitations rather than rapid price growth.
