September 30, 2026, updated · Stephanie Calinoff, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker

The median sale price moved the same way, to $797,500 from $832,500 in August, though it sat above the $782,500 of a year earlier. Median square feet rose to 1,891 from 1,841 in August, so the houses that closed were larger on the whole while the price they fetched per foot came down.

Twenty two sales closed, the most in the past year, up from 16 in August and 12 in September 2025, and 23 new listings came on, also the most in the past year. Eighteen of the 22 sales closed at or above asking, close to August's share and well above the 66.67 percent of a year earlier, with a median sale to list of 104.49 percent against 102.17 percent in August. The median time on market was 20 days, down from 28 in August and near the 21 days of September 2025.

The spread shows where the month sat. Nothing sold below $500,000, against two such sales a year earlier, and the band between $900,000 and $999,999 held four sales where a year earlier it held none. Five sales closed at $1,000,000 and over, the same count as September 2025.
