🟡 Balanced market. 3.7 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of August 10, 2026. Confidence: High (4 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($310K) is up 3.3% from the prior 12 months ($300K) and up 109% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 10. Confidence: Low (13 and 5 sales in the two windows).

The Brightwater buying strategy.
If we were buying in Brightwater today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Brightwater.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Brightwater. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
