Market Insight
Edgewater’s pricing is influenced by a broad mix of property types, including a significant share of condos and
waterfront-adjacent inventory. Over the past several years, sale-to-original-list typically sits in the mid-to-high
90% range, which points to a market where pricing accuracy matters and buyer leverage can shift with supply. In
practice, listings that align with recent comparable sales tend to convert more efficiently, while homes that start
above the market can take longer or require price adjustments to generate activity.
