Median sales price and percent of original list price received do not account for seller concessions.
Activity for one month can look extreme because of small sample sizes. Changes in the mix of homes sold can affect the median; it is not a measure of any individual home’s change in value.
These are published August 2026 single-family statistics, not live listing counts. Unreported percentage changes are shown as a dash.
