Is Walnut Crossing a buyer’s market?

No, it reads as balanced for the neighborhood as a whole. Homes closed at 95.1% of original asking this past year, inside the range my rule calls balanced.

Supply is thin, at 1.6 months on the twelve-month pace, and only one of the three homes listed has cut. For a starter-size house from the late 1970s, that is a good setup for a seller who prices to this year.
