What This Means
Westminster's housing market is showing mixed signals as we head into summer. While sales volume jumped 24 percent month-over-month to 41 homes sold, this likely reflects improved data collection rather than a genuine surge in buyer activity. The more telling story is in pricing: the median fell nearly 10 percent both month-over-month and year-over-year, settling at $980,000. This downward pressure suggests buyers still have leverage in negotiations, evidenced by the 101.5 percent sale-to-list ratio, though that's not quite as favorable as sellers would hope.
The market is tightening faster than inventory would suggest. Homes are spending about seven weeks on the market on average, down from nine weeks last month—a meaningful improvement that indicates fresher inventory is attracting attention. However, with 97 active listings carrying a median asking price of $1.15 million, there's a notable gap between what sellers want and what the market is actually paying. That discrepancy could lead to further price adjustments over the coming months if rates don't drop meaningfully.
Single-family homes dominate the mix at roughly 73 percent of sales, keeping Westminster's character intact even as pricing moderates.
