The September price picture

September county records are still settling, and live asking prices sit well above recent closings — the classic list-versus-sold gap.

The September county-records read covers 22 recorded sales at a $2,440,000 median — but the period is explicitly still settling, so treat this number as directional.

The September county-records release did not include a median days-on-market read, so this week’s market-time figure carries an explicit gap — not a substitute.

Rates are the pressure point

The 30-year fixed rate rose 25 basis points from 7.03% the prior week and stood 94 basis points above 6.34% a year earlier. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60%, up from 6.42% the prior week and 5.55% a year ago. “With mortgage rates on their current trajectory, the housing market continues to be supported by favorable economic conditions,” said Freddie Mac chief economist Sam Khater.

Borrowing costs at 7.28% are slowing urgency. That does not make every home negotiable, but it rewards buyers who compare condition, days on market and seller motivation carefully.

How to read these figures

Realty.com’s September 2026 county-records median ($2,440,000, 22 recorded sales as of Sep 17) is the freshest monthly closed-sale figure — but the period is still settling, so treat small-sample months as directional. Realty.com does not publish a median-sale-price YoY %; its assessor repeat-sales index reads 100.0% YoY (flat) — a different methodology, not presented as median-price YoY. Median days on market was not published in the September release, so the market-time card carries an explicit gap; RealtyHop’s 57-day figure 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 104 (74 houses, 28 condos, 2 townhouses), refreshed hourly. MLS sales closed at 98.9% of asking in September (45 sales as of Sep 29), with 36.4% of county-recorded buyers paying cash. Redfin figures are omitted this edition: the text extraction returned stale (Oct 2025-labeled) figures and no live-browser verification was available.
