Comparison to September 2025

Comparing October’s performance to September 2025 reveals a definitive seasonal shift and a cooling trend in buyer urgency:

• Closed Sales Volume: Sales dipped slightly from 496 units in September to 479 units in October. This gradual decrease is consistent with typical autumn market cycles.
• Price Adjustment: The Median Sale Price softened to $580,000 (down from $599,490 in September). Additionally, the Average Sale Price saw a decrease from roughly $830k to $775k, indicating fewer ultra-luxury closings or a general settling of prices.
• Negotiation Nuance: The Average SP/OP Ratio dropped to 99.21%, signaling that buyers are finding more room to negotiate on price than in previous months. However, the Median SP/OP Ratio holding firm at 100.00% indicates that well-priced homes are still commanding full ask.
• Market Velocity: While the "Days to Sell Average" held steady at 26 days, the Cumulative Days on Market (CDOM) Average jumped significantly to 37 days (up from 26 in September). This suggests that while fresh inventory moves, older inventory is lingering longer.
