Is the ABOR / Unlock MLS Region currently a buyer's market? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which measures how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace. In September 2026, the region held 4.9 months of inventory based on 16,133 active listings and 2,710 closed sales over the trailing 12 months. This figure places the market in a balanced zone, sitting between the typical buyer's threshold (under 4 months) and seller's territory (over 6 months). While 4.9 months suggests neither side holds overwhelming leverage, the trend indicates a slight shift toward buyers compared to the prior month. The median days on market rose 21.7% from August to 56 days, giving buyers more time to evaluate options without immediate pressure. Median closing prices reached $407,250, up 1.6% from the previous month but down 0.7% year-over-year. The average home sold for 94.1% of its original list price, a ratio that has dipped slightly compared to last year. With inventory levels stabilizing and homes taking longer to sell, buyers in this region may find more negotiating room than they would have seen earlier in the year. ALEX Intelligence calculates market conditions by dividing active listings by the monthly average of closed sales. This method provides a standardized gauge for supply and demand dynamics across different price points and neighborhoods within the 18-county Unlock MLS region. Want to see this home?
