Avalon Market Recap: Prices Rise, Sales Speed Up in Six Months

What does a median price of $520,000 mean for Avalon buyers and sellers today? Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, 35 homes sold in this master-planned community, pushing the median close price up 16.9% compared to the prior six-month period and 7.8% higher than the same window last year. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the shift in market dynamics by comparing current activity against historical baselines. The most striking change is speed: homes are now selling in a median of 19 days, a 66.1% drop from the prior period and 52.5% faster than last year. This acceleration coincides with a tighter inventory landscape, where only 12 active listings remain against recent sales velocity, creating roughly 2 months of supply. Buyers are also paying closer to asking prices. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 97.9%, up from 94.3% previously, while the share of homes selling below original list price fell to 68.6%. These figures indicate a market where competition is driving values higher and reducing negotiation leverage for buyers. The average home size sold in this window was 2,766 square feet, slightly larger than the prior period. While mortgage rates currently sit at 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data from late October, the increased demand suggests that Avalon remains a sought-after location despite borrowing costs. This six-month rollup captures a market transitioning from a slower pace to one defined by rapid turnover and price appreciation. Thinking of selling in Avalon?
