The short version
The middle of the market held steady. The median came back to within about 2% of last September, after a weaker August. The softer numbers were at the high end and in new activity: the average sale price fell 13%, dollar volume fell 21%, and 17% fewer homes went under contract. Inventory was about level with a year ago, and homes that sold reached contract a little faster.
What this means for buyers
- Less competition per home. Fewer contracts against a roughly level supply means fewer buyers bidding on any one house.
- Most room at the higher end. With fewer high-priced homes closing, homes that have sat for a while in upper price ranges are where an offer below asking is most likely to get a real answer.
- Don’t expect deep discounts on well-priced, mid-range homes. Sellers closed at about 98% of list on average.
- Compare new construction. Builders in several communities are competing with resale homes, so ask what incentives are on the table.
What this means for sellers
- Price it right from day one. Buyers compare your home with active listings and builder homes right away.
- Plan for negotiation in dollars, not just percent. The average home closed about $18,000 below list across all residential types, and the gap tends to be larger on bigger homes.
- Expect about ten weeks to contract. Homes that sold averaged 71 days on market, and the full trip to closing day ran about 105 days.
- Your neighborhood matters more than the city number. A citywide median mixes townhomes, older ranch homes, and custom view homes. Ask for recent sales on your street.
