September 2026 Market Snapshot

Listing activity and pricing signals

Combined Pending and Under Contract inventory increased from 139 to 151 homes. This stronger contract pipeline contrasts with September’s lower completed-sale volume. Homes without a HOA uses Active listings with an HOA Requirement other than “Mandatory”; all qualifying entries have blank HOA fields, so these counts do not confirm the properties have no HOA. Homes priced below $300k uses a list price below $301,000 (strictly below $300,000: 125 in August and 147 in September).

The median and price per square foot edged lower, while the average sale price increased slightly — relatively stable transaction prices despite slower sales volume. Seller-paid buyer closing costs appeared on 45 of 64 September closings (70.3%), nearly unchanged from August. Concession averages include reported zeros; Closed Price to List Price % averages the exported CP$/LP$ % field and does not deduct concessions.

Pending prices moved lower even as the pending count increased, suggesting stronger contract activity in the lower-priced portion of inventory. The September pending median was approximately $47,271 below the active median; home size, condition and property mix contribute to this gap. These comparisons measure each export’s inventory composition, rather than price changes on the same homes.

September’s closed homes took approximately 4.2% longer to sell (72.1 vs 69.1 days). The lower active DOM (76.8 vs 88.3 days) does not establish faster sales — new inventory and removal of older listings can reduce that average while total inventory grows. DOM averages exclude blanks. Coverage: August Closed 90/91 and Active 390/393; September Closed 64/64 and Active 466/472.

Forecasting Prediction

What we expect next month

The most defensible prediction is continued buyer-favorable conditionsduring October 2026, with potential for a partial recovery in closings.

  • Sales volume: The 8.6% increase in combined Pending and Under Contract inventory supports the possibility of improved closing volume.
  • Inventory: The 20.1% expansion in active listings suggests competition among sellers will remain substantial.
  • Prices: Lower pending prices suggest the next group of closings could have a lower price distribution, depending on which homes close.
  • Concessions: Seller-paid buyer closing costs remained present in approximately seven out of ten closings, supporting their continued relevance in negotiations.
