The median home price in the ABOR / Unlock MLS region rose to $407,250 in September, marking a 1.6% increase from August across 2,710 closed sales. This figure represents the central value of all transactions recorded during the month, providing a clear snapshot of market pricing trends for buyers and sellers.
While prices moved upward, the pace of sales slowed compared to the previous month. Closed sales dropped by 11.4% from August's 3,059 transactions, though this volume remains slightly below the 2,910 closings recorded in September 2025. The market also saw a significant shift in how long properties stayed on the shelves; the median days on market jumped to 56 days, a 21.7% increase from August's 46 days and just 3.4% lower than the same time last year.
New construction activity remained robust, with 825 new homes closing in September, down from 1,004 in August but still a substantial portion of the market. The median price per square foot rose to $204, up 1.5% from the prior month and 2.4% below the previous year's level. These figures indicate a market where prices are holding steady despite a cooling in transaction speed and volume.
ALEX Intelligence analyzed the monthly closed sales data to track these shifts in pricing and activity. The data reflects a region where demand remains present, but buyers and sellers are navigating a longer time horizon for transactions compared to the summer peak.
