Market time — from Redfin this week

Realty.com’s September release did not include a median days-on-market read, so this week’s market-time figure comes from the next source in our chain: Redfin’s median for homes sold over the three months ending September 2026 — a longer window than the single-month September price figures.

7.24%

30-year fixed average
Week ending October 29, 2026

Rates are the pressure point

The 30-year fixed rate eased to 7.24% — down from 7.32% the prior week — and stood 107 basis points above 6.17% a year earlier. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60%, down from 6.68% the prior week and up from 5.41% a year ago. “The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage declined again this week, reaching its lowest level this month and modestly boosting purchasing power for prospective buyers,” Freddie Mac said in its weekly release.

Borrowing costs at 7.24% are still slowing urgency. That does not make every home negotiable, but it rewards buyers who compare condition, days on market and seller motivation carefully.

National context

How to read these figures

Realty.com’s September 2026 county-records median ($1,180,000, 78 recorded sales as of Sep 30) is still the freshest monthly closed-sale figure; the release is unchanged from the October 24 edition (October figures not yet posted). Realty.com does not publish a median-sale-price YoY %; its assessor repeat-sales index reads +2.1% YoY (as of Sep 30) — a different methodology, not presented as median-price YoY. Median days on market was not published in Realty.com’s September release, so it comes from the next source in the fallback chain: Redfin reports a 44-day median for homes sold over the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin calculations from MLS and/or public records; 51 days a year earlier) — a different source and a longer window than the single-month September price figures. RealtyHop’s 59-day figure (as of Oct 31) is an average for current listings, not a median for closings. Active-inventory counts vary by source and methodology: RealtyHop’s live residential count showed 169 (114 houses, 51 condos, 4 townhouses), refreshed hourly — down from 176 in the October 24 edition — while Realty.com’s MLS snapshot (as of Sep 27) showed 176 homes for sale at a $1,120,000 median list price. MLS sales closed at 98.6% of asking in September (79 sales as of Sep 30), with 20.5% of county-recorded buyers paying cash. Redfin is used only for median days on market; its city page was checked on Oct 31, 2026. The 30-year rate is Freddie Mac’s week-ending-October-29 average (released Oct 29 at noon ET), down from 7.32% the prior week.
