ABOR Region: New Listings Outpace Closings in September

In September 2026, the ABOR / Unlock MLS Region saw a clear divergence between supply and demand as 3,730 new homes entered the market compared to 2,750 that closed. This dual-axis trend reveals a growing inventory gap where fresh listings are arriving faster than transactions are completing. The region recorded 2,750 closed sales across 12 months of data, with a median close price of $405,000 and a median days on market of 56 days. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the supply dynamics by comparing new listing volume against closing activity over the trailing 12-month window. The data shows that while closed sales increased slightly from the prior month, the influx of new inventory was significantly higher, pushing active listings up to 16,040 homes today. This pattern suggests a shift toward a more balanced or buyer-favorable environment as sellers list properties faster than buyers can close deals. The median price per square foot rose 1.5% from the prior period to $204, while the median living area remained stable at 2,026 square feet. Although sales volume dipped 10.3% compared to August, the surge in new listings indicates that inventory is accumulating faster than it is being absorbed. This supply gap provides more options for buyers but may extend time on market as competition among sellers increases. The analysis relies on 2,750 closed sales and 3,730 new listings recorded in September 2026. No individual property details are included; the focus remains on aggregate regional trends to illustrate the current state of supply and demand. Want a closer look?
