The Unlock MLS region finished September with a median closed price of $410,000 across 2,636 transactions, holding steady compared to the same month last year. While sales volume dropped 13.5% from August, the average home size remained consistent at 2,026 square feet. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the full dataset of 2,636 closed sales to determine that the median price per square foot rose 2.0% to $205, reflecting a tighter supply relative to demand despite lower transaction counts. The market took longer to close in September, with the median days on market rising 21.7% to 56 days compared to August, though this remains 3.4% faster than the same period last year. New construction activity accounted for 773 of the closed sales, representing a significant portion of the regional volume. The region currently holds 16,237 active listings, creating a months of inventory level of 4.96, which suggests a balanced market environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. Mortgage rates stood at 7.4% based on the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of October 8, 2026. This rate environment influenced buyer behavior, with 83.4% of homes selling below their original list price, a figure that has shifted slightly from prior months. The data indicates a market adjusting to higher borrowing costs while maintaining price stability through the transition into the fall season. Want to see this home?
