In September, nearly 84% of homes in the ABOR / Unlock MLS Region sold for less than their original asking price. This figure represents a share of 0.835 out of 2,710 closed sales. The median home sold for $407,250, a 1.6% increase from August but down 0.7% compared to September 2025.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed price reduction patterns across the region's subdivisions to identify where sellers adjusted their expectations most frequently. In Easton Park, 95% of closed sales required a price cut, with a median sale price of $581,161. Sunfield saw an even higher rate, with every single home sold in the sample (100%) coming in below the original list, averaging a median price of $359,760.
Other subdivisions also showed significant negotiation activity. In Santa Rita Ranch, 91% of homes sold below list, while Winfield Park and Eastern Wells saw reductions in 91% and 90% of sales respectively. Conversely, Mitchell Farms was the only subdivision in the top sample where no closed sales required a price reduction, with all 10 transactions meeting or exceeding the original asking price at a median of $259,705.
The data indicates that while prices remain resilient year-over-year, sellers are increasingly adjusting expectations to close deals. The median days on market rose to 56 days, up 21.7% from August, suggesting a longer negotiation window for many properties. Buyers in these high-reduction areas may find more leverage, particularly in subdivisions where price cuts were the norm rather than the exception.
