September Snapshot: Home Values & Sales

• Home Values: Median home prices remained resilient across most counties, with slight upticks in some areas and stable numbers in others. This stability is great news for sellers and a signal to buyers that the market is holding strong, even as the seasons shift.
• Home Sales: The pace of home sales was brisk in September. While inventory remains tight in certain neighborhoods, motivated buyers are still finding success—often moving quickly when the right property hits the market.
