That surge in activity came alongside rising prices: the median sale price climbed 11% from a year ago to $490,000, suggesting buyers aren&#8217;t just active, they&#8217;re competing for homes and pushing values higher in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgettbyzewski.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mnt2607-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgettbyzewski.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mnt2607-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bridgettbyzewski.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mnt2607-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bridgettbyzewski.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mnt2607-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridgettbyzewski.com\/real-estate-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/mnt2607.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demand indicators point in the same direction. New pending sales rose 23% year-over-year to 716, a strong signal for closings in the months ahead, while new listings ticked up a modest 4.9% to 831. That combination, pending sales growing faster than new listings, helped push active inventory down 15% from a year ago, to 2,706 homes. Tighter supply paired with stronger demand is a classic recipe for a market that&#8217;s tilting back toward sellers after a period of more buyer leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more notable shift: cash sales made up just 25.2% of closed transactions, down sharply from 28.9% a year ago. That decline suggests more buyers are financing their purchases rather than paying cash, often a sign that traditional, mortgage-backed buyers are re-entering the market in greater numbers. Taken together, June&#8217;s numbers point to a Manatee County market that&#8217;s picking up pace, with fewer homes on the shelf, faster-moving pending sales, and prices continuing to climb.
