Price & competition read · September 2026
Fewer homes beat their first ask while prices held about level
After adjusting for what sold, prices for typical-size homes changed by 1.4%, which is within normal variation, based on 25 recent sales and 24 a year earlier. The headline median fell 7.8%, from $1,504 to $1,387 per square foot, but that comparison is also within normal variation.
Competition tells a different story. 57% of homes sold above their original asking price, among the 40 of 43 sales whose original asking price we saw, with sales closing 1.9% above the original ask. A year earlier the share was 74%, a drop of 17 points. The direction is down, but the evidence is not strong.
The headline 7.8% drop mostly reflects which school zones sold
After adjusting for what sold, with home size, lot and school zone held fixed, prices changed by 1.4%, within normal variation, based on 25 recent sales and 24 a year earlier. The headline median fell 7.8%, from $1,504 to $1,387 per square foot, so the gap between the two is the mix of homes that sold.
The average price per square foot was 6.5% lower. The mix of what sold pulled it down 7.9 points, and school zones alone account for 7.8 of those. Homes in the Homestead High School zone made up 20% of sales, down from 38%. Size pulled the average down 1.5 points and lot size pushed it up 1.5.
Typical-size homes traded in a tighter price range than a year ago
Among typical-size homes, the middle half of sales landed between $1,135 and $1,658 per square foot over the last 90 days, a 37.8% spread from the 25th to the 75th percentile. A year earlier the middle half ran from $1,278 to $2,047, a 51.1% spread. Most of the narrowing is at the top of the range.
This rests on 25 recent sales and 24 a year earlier, so the direction is toward a tighter range, but the evidence is not strong. After adjusting for what sold, prices changed by 1.4%, within normal variation. For a buyer, a narrower range means recent comps cluster closer together, so any one comp tells you more.

Are prices rising?
$1,409/sqft
9% below the same 90 days last year
The typical price per square foot 1,100–1,500 sqft homes sold for over the last 90 days, worked out again each month: 24 sales in the last 90 days, and 23 in the same 90 days last year. Our sales records start September 25, 2023. The bars count the sales that closed each month. The typical sale price over the last 90 days: $1.70M.
Each point covers 90 days, so neighboring points share sales: look at the direction over several months. A month with a short bar has few sales, and one unusual home can swing it.
How widely do similar homes sell?
$1,160–$1,706
the middle half of sales · 38.7% wide
The 25th to 75th percentile of typical-size homes' price per square foot over the last 90 days, worked out again each month, on 24 sales. The width is that range as a share of the median.
A narrower range means similar homes sell at more predictable prices; a wider one means more room either way.
What do homes sell for against asking?
1% over the first asking price
59% sold over asking
How the typical sale over the last 90 days compares with the home's first asking price: 22 sales whose asking price we know, and 2 we never saw advertised. Our sales records start September 25, 2023.
Above the dashed line, homes sell for more than they first asked. Against the last asking price before the sale, the typical sale was 1% over the last asking price (22 sales). We lead with the first ask: after a price cut, the last ask makes a sale look stronger than it was.
How many homes sell over their first ask?
59%
sold over asking, down 19 points from the previous 90 days
The share of sales over the last 90 days that closed above the home's first asking price, worked out again each month, on the 22 sales whose first asking price we saw.
A rising share means more homes draw more than one offer; the typical sale above can stay level while the share moves.
How fast do homes go pending?
12 days
about the same as the previous 90 days
The typical number of days from listing to pending over the last 90 days, for homes whose listing date we know: 22 in the last 90 days. Pendings before May 30, 2026 come from the histories of homes that later sold.
Fewer days means more competition. A home that went pending and fell through counts from its relisting.
Do I have more choices?
6 homes for sale
6 new listings in the last four weeks
Homes for sale on each Monday and listings that came on the market each week, tracked since May 30, 2026; 9 were already for sale then and are not counted as new.
More homes for sale means more choice and less pressure; a week with none listed is a real zero.
What explains price differences here · Q3 2026
Once a quarter, Houseticker analyzes recent sales to measure how price differences are associated with home size, lot size, city, and school zone while controlling for the other factors.
Homestead High premium over Fremont High is bigger than the raw numbers show
After controlling for home size, lot and city, Homestead High sales traded at a 45.4% premium to Fremont High sales this quarter. The plain difference in median price per square foot is only 29.9%, so a Homestead High home that looks modestly pricier per square foot is carrying a larger premium once what sold is accounted for. The range we can support runs from 29.2% to 72.6%.
On a typical home here, which sold for $1,670,000, that gap is about $758,000. This is based on 43 sales this quarter, 13 of them in Homestead High.
A year ago, in Q3 2025, we measured the premium at 43.6%. In Q2 2026 it was one we could not measure yet.
Zone, size and lot explain most of the price gaps, with no clear leader
Home size, lot, school zone and city together account for 61% of the price differences between this quarter's 43 sales. School zone's share of that is 31.4%, home size's 20.6% and lot's 9.2%, but none leads clearly enough for us to rank them.
With the others held still, a home 10% bigger is associated with a price 5.4% higher. The lot's figure, 1.9% for a lot 10% bigger, is one we cannot measure yet.
The rest is what the records cannot see: condition, updates, views, the street. For a buyer, that means the home itself explains a large part of the price that no public record will.
