The read

Weekly closing volume eased, but the contract pipeline remains active

Chad Belvill’s report shows nine residential closings versus 20 the previous week. The four-week median of $527,500 across 50 transactions differs from the $347,500 weekly median because the samples are not the same. The highest residential sale this week was $827,500, compared with a weekly average of $435,272.

With 410 active residential listings and 50 corrected four-week sales, the report calculates 8.2 months of supply. The inventory includes 130 listings marketed for at least 365 days, underscoring the importance of property-specific comparisons rather than countywide averages alone.

Supply context

Core and resort inventory diverge

7.5Core county months of supply · 224 active, 30 rolling sales
9.3Resort months of supply · 186 active, 20 rolling sales

Core county’s median active days on market is 277, compared with 345 in resort markets. Individual price bands range from relatively tight absorption to segments with no completed four-week sale, for which finite supply cannot be calculated.

Methodology

Scope and limitations

Weekly activity covers October 5–11, 2026. Weekly residential pricing is based on nine closings, while the corrected rolling four-week sample contains 50. Chad calculates months of supply as active inventory divided by corrected four-week sales, using the four-week count as an approximate monthly pace and rounding to one decimal.

Weekly pending contracts (60) and total pending inventory (357) are separate measures and must not be added together. Price adjustments count activity without specifying the direction or size of each change. Closings are lagging indicators; neither weekly nor four-week medians establish appreciation or depreciation for comparable homes. Core and resort groups are tracked separately; price-band readings can differ materially from countywide supply.
