PLAIN ENGLISH — WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS MEAN?

Market Type Balanced Market

Oxford County remained in a balanced market in September, with 4.8 months of inventory (year-to-date). Unchanged from August and up from the 4.6 months we saw at this point last year. Overall, the market is balanced providing buyers with more choice and more time than they have had in several years.

Prices

The average sale price was $636,664, ever so slightly down 0.6% from September 2025, and the median sale price was $570,000, down 6.9% year-over-year. The MLS® HPI composite benchmark price, which tracks the value of a typical home over time, was $566,700, down 1.8% from August and 5.1% from a year earlier.

Taken together, these numbers lend themselves to a gradual price softening rather than a sudden shift.

Days on Market

Median days on market was 34.5 days, on par with the 35 days a year ago and a little longer than 30 days we saw in September 2024. Buyers were taking their time, weighing their options, and are comfortable waiting for the right home, and confidently offering when they found it.

New Listings

There were 343 new listings in September, down 8.5% from last year. Still, with fewer new listings the impact was negligible since the overall number of homes stayed high. Buyers continue to have their choice of home, a variety of style of homes, and competitive price points.

Sale-to-List Price Ratio

On average, homes sold at 96.9% of asking price, down 97.5% in September 2025 and 98.2% in September 2024. On a home listed at $600,000, that is roughly $18,600 less than asking. A sign buyers and sellers are negotiating.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR SELLERS

If you have been thinking about selling your home, September’s data tells a clear story: buyers are setting the pace. They are comfortable waiting for the right fit, and homes that get their attention first are priced well at the time of listing. Pricing right at market value and open to negotiation, or, in some cases, pricing a little below market so your home stands out and draws buyers in quickly is a solid strategy. Those priced too high in this climate sit longer and may need price reductions down the road. Thoughtful pricing from the very start is the single most important thing you can do. I would be happy to walk you through a comparable market analysis for your specific home and neighbourhood.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR BUYERS

For buyers in Oxford County, our market rewards patience and preparation. There were more homes for sale this September than in any September of the past decade. Sellers negotiated resulting in sales 96.9% of asking on average. Take the time to find the home to fit you and your lifestyle. Have your financing in place so you can move with confidence when you find it. If you are not yet pre-approved, now is a good time to do so and understand all options available to you. As always, if you need to be connected to a trusted lender, reach out and I will connect you.
