The ABOR / Unlock MLS Region saw 2,636 homes close in September, maintaining a median price of $410,000. This represents a 2.5% increase from August and holds steady at the same level as September 2025. The median price per square foot rose to $205, up 2.0% from the prior month but down 1.9% year-over-year. Market activity slowed compared to the previous month, with closed sales dropping 13.5%. New listings increased to 4,028 from 3,521 in August. The median days on market increased to 56 days, a 21.7% rise from August, suggesting homes are taking longer to sell. Despite this, the close-to-original list ratio remained strong at 94.1%, with 83.4% of sales closing below the original list price. Inventory levels show 16,237 active listings, resulting in approximately 5 months of supply. This places the market in a balanced state, neither heavily favoring buyers nor sellers. New construction accounted for 773 closings out of the total volume. The average home size sold was 2,026 square feet. Looking ahead, the data suggests a cooling in transaction speed but stable pricing. With inventory rising and days on market extending, buyers may find more negotiating leverage, while sellers should anticipate longer marketing periods. The region continues to show resilience with consistent sales volume compared to the same time last year, despite a 9.4% decline in total closings. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these trends using a month-over-month and year-over-year comparison of closed sales, active inventory, and listing activity to provide this executive summary.
