✓ You're in — see you next month.
Riverton homes sold in a median 13 days in September, down from 29 in August, and the median home price came in at $545,700. That makes the housing market balanced and leaning slightly toward buyers. There were 104 homes for sale against 34 closings, about 3 months of supply, and only 5 sales closed above list. Sellers got about 98.4% of asking price, below August's 99%.
Market pulse
Speed swung hard. Median days on market went from 4 in July to 29 in August and back to 13 in September, so a single month tells you little. Active listings grew from 72 in April to 104 in September, a steady build. The average sale price of $738,308 sits well above the median because 11 sales over $700,000 had a median of $1,075,000, including one River Ridge sale at $2,286,928. Asking prices are running ahead of closings too: the median list price was $642,400 against a $545,700 median sale.
Mortgage context
Twenty-one of September's 34 closings landed between $400,000 and $700,000, at a median $508,000. That is the group feeling the rate most, since a payment near $3,052 is a real jump for them. Buyers above $700,000 (11 closings, median $1,075,000) are less sensitive, and those homes moved in a median 6 days.
Payment math
Put 20% down on Riverton's $546,000 median home and principal and interest runs $3,052 a month at 7.5%, which is $111 more than the $2,941 it cost 30 days ago at 7.125%, and $316 above the April low, when rates averaged 6.42% and the payment would have been $2,736.
If you're buying
Look at homes that have sat a month or more. A quarter of September's sales took 80 days or longer, and those sellers are the ones who cut price. Monarch Meadows closings took a median 154 days at $567,500, so that is a place to push. Mountain Ridge sold fast at a median $559,900, so expect competition there.
If you're selling
Set your price from what closed, not from what neighbors are asking. Median asking was $642,400 but the median sale was $545,700, and 23 of 34 homes sold below list. With 104 homes competing, a fair price in week one beats a cut in week six. Ten of September's closings took a price change first.
Outlook
October through December is usually quieter, so expect fewer buyers touring. With 104 listings and rates near 7.5%, the median wait could drift back toward the 29 days seen in August. Entry-level homes under $700,000 will feel it first. Spring brings buyers back, as it did in March and April this year.
Watch for
If the 30-year rate stays above 7.5% and new listings keep running near 49 a month, supply could reach about 4 months by January and sale-to-list could slip toward 97%.
