September 30, 2026, updated · Linda LaFleur, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

Median price per square foot barely moved, at $397 against $398 in August and $387 a year earlier, while the median square footage behind the sales dropped to 1,813 from 2,164. Smaller houses, not cheaper ground, account for most of the step down in the median.

Twelve sales closed, one fewer than August and the same count as September 2025. Nine of the twelve closed at or above asking, up from nine of thirteen in August, and the median sale came in at 103.08 percent of list against 100.67 percent the month before. Houses took a median of 30 days to sell, unchanged from August and longer than the 24 days of a year earlier. Seventeen new listings came on.

The spread shifted at the upper end. Three sales landed between $800,000 and $899,999 against one a year earlier, and two closed at $1,000,000 or above against one, while the $700,000 to $799,999 range thinned to two sales from four and nothing closed between $900,000 and $999,999.
