Sales climbed significantly in February, with a total of 699 sales, representing a 22.2% increase from January, which had 572 sales. While this increase is significant, it's important to note that compared to one year ago, the current figure is still down 35.4%.

The median sales price remained unchanged at $499,000 a month, which is good news for buyers who are looking for stability in the market.
