Homes Sold: October Closings Improve
October brought 6 closings, up from 4 in September but below the summer peak of 16 in July. Year-to-date closings reached 82. Pending contracts climbed to 24, compared with 14 in September; those contracts are a pipeline indicator, not completed closings.
New Construction: Permit Activity Remains Subdued
The October data sheet records 3 new home permits, down from 7 in September. Year-to-date permits reached 53, compared with 102 in the prior-year comparison, a decline of 48.0%. Buyers should compare the costs, features and timelines of new construction against available resale homes.
Inventory: Slight Decline, Continued Choice
Inventory declined to 94 homes for sale in October from 98 in September. That remains above the 71 homes listed in October 2025, an increase of 32.4%. Buyers have substantial options across lake, golf-course and interior properties.
- 23 lake homes
- 12 golf-course homes
- 59 interior homes
With 94 homes competing for attention, sellers benefit from realistic pricing, well-maintained condition and effective photography. Buyers can evaluate location, features and long-term fit rather than focusing on price alone.
Days on Market: Current Listings Average 139 Days
Average days on market for current inventory declined to 139 in October from 148 in September, and is below the 182 days recorded in October 2025. This measure describes active listings, not the average selling time of homes that closed during the month.
What This Means for You This Fall
Thinking about selling?
October’s 6 closings and 94 active listings indicate a market where careful positioning matters. Pending contracts are improving, but sellers should not assume that all price ranges or home types are moving at the same pace.
- Price against today’s active competition, not just older sales
- Make condition, photography, and online presentation easy for buyers to understand
- Emphasize the lake, golf, trails, clubs and community lifestyle
With permit activity lower than last year, consider checking current contractor availability for repairs, painting and landscaping. Obtain quotes and realistic timelines before investing in improvements.
Thinking about buying?
Buyers have 94 homes to consider, while pending contracts have increased to 24. That combination supports careful comparison and preparation to act when a suitable property offers compelling value.
- Compare lake, golf and interior homes by overall value
- Look closely at longer-market listings
- Be ready when the right home is well priced
