Caldwell County: Median Price Rises in October

How many more homes sold in Caldwell County this month compared to last year? The answer is 121%. Closed sales reached 42 transactions in October 2026, up from just 19 sales during the same month a year ago. This surge coincided with a median closing price of $258,628, which represents a 3.5% increase over last October and a modest 0.8% rise from September. The market also saw a shift in how long properties stayed on the market. The median days on market climbed to 66 days, a 78.4% increase compared to the same period last year when homes sold in just 37 days. This longer timeline suggests buyers are taking more time to evaluate options or that inventory levels have adjusted. Despite the slower pace of sales, the price per square foot rose 3.9% year-over-year to $152.50. Homes continued to sell below their original list prices. In October, 90.5% of closed sales went for less than the initial asking price, a significant jump from 78.9% last year. The median close-to-original list ratio dropped to 0.917, indicating that buyers successfully negotiated an average discount of about 8.3% off the original list price. ALEX Intelligence analyzed these figures to highlight the contrast between rising sales volume and extended market times. While more homes are closing, the increased time on market and higher rate of price reductions point to a market where negotiation remains a key part of the transaction process for both buyers and sellers in Caldwell County.
