Market figures by town

In October 2026, Caldwell County recorded 41 closed sales with a median price of $272,000. The number of closings rose 115.8% compared to the same month last year, yet a key metric for this analysis remains unreported. The data does not provide a breakdown of how many transactions were paid entirely in cash versus financed with a mortgage. Without a reported cash share or financing type count for these 41 closings, it is impossible to calculate the percentage of buyers using all-cash offers or to compare this trend against prior periods. A complete analysis of buyer payment methods requires a non-zero count of cash sales and a corresponding sample size (n) for that category. The current data confirms strong activity with 20 new construction closings and a median price per square foot of $162, but the specific split between cash and financed buyers remains unreported in this run. Consequently, no trend line or percentage share can be displayed for this topic. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want to see this home?
