Bertram Market Recap: Sales Up, Prices Steady in Rolling Six Months

Bertram's housing market showed resilience in the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, with closed sales rising to 71 from 40 in the prior period. The median close price reached $311,999, representing a 7.4% increase compared to the previous six months and a 6.4% gain over the same window last year. This growth occurred despite a slight dip in the median price per square foot to $169, which is down 2.9% from the prior period and 15.9% lower than a year ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the data to highlight that homes are selling slightly faster relative to list prices. The median close-to-original-list ratio improved to 0.943, up 2.8% from the prior period, while the share of sales closing below original list price dropped to 88.7%. Inventory levels remain balanced with 5.83 months of supply available today. New construction played a significant role in this activity, accounting for 46 of the 71 closed sales. The market dynamics shifted as buyers and sellers adjusted to current conditions. While the median days on market increased by 14.3% compared to last year to 56 days, it remains comparable to the regional average. The data reflects a steady recovery in transaction volume without significant price erosion, driven largely by new construction activity and improved negotiation outcomes for sellers.
