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.

Borrowing costs at 7.40% are slowing urgency. That does not make every home negotiable, but it rewards buyers who compare condition, days on market and seller motivation carefully.

Realty.com’s September 2026 county-records median ($1,825,000, 43 recorded sales as of Sep 29) is the freshest monthly closed-sale figure; it replaces the earlier, smaller-sample September read ($2,440,000 on 22 sales as of Sep 17) shown in the October 5 edition, so treat month-to-month moves in small samples as directional. 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 49-day median for homes sold over the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin calculations from MLS and/or public records; 48 days a year earlier) — a different source and a longer window than the single-month September price figures. RealtyHop’s 56-day figure (as of Oct 12) 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 106 (73 houses, 31 condos, 2 townhouses), refreshed hourly, while Realty.com’s MLS snapshot (as of Sep 27) showed 139 homes for sale at a $1,275,000 median list price. MLS sales closed at 99.0% of asking in September (46 sales as of Sep 30), with 32.6% of county-recorded buyers paying cash. Redfin is used only for median days on market; its city page was checked on Oct 12, 2026.
