Summer is over!!! Well, not officially, but home sales traditionally slow down in the fall months ..we will see what happens in Brookside this year. Checking the August stats, as prices rise and more million dollar homes sell–the median price goes up. Here are the numbers:
| august 2026 | auguest 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $672,000 | $550,000 |
| Median sales price: | $670,000 | $550,000 |
| Days on market: | 2 | 4 |
| No. of homes sold: | 20 | 22 |
The number of homes changing owners was about the same; the median sales price jumped up about 22%! There were four million dollar + sales last month, and several homes sold well above $500K. The lowest closed price was $350,000 and the highest was $1.625,000. Here are the year-to-date stats:
| jan-aug 2026 | jan-aug 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $609,000 | $607,000 |
| Median sales price: | $615,000 | $627,500 |
| Days on market: | 3 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 163 | 170 |
For the year, overall prices are lower by 2%, and 4% fewer homes have sold. Still note the median sales price vs. the list price: many buyers paying over what seller is asking!
