For buyers in the Augusta area and beyond, this means a steadier environment: more options are appearing, yet supply isn\u2019t spiking. Homes are spending an average of 61 days on market, unchanged from last year and right in line with the typical late-Q3 slowdown. New listings dipped by around 1% compared to a year ago, as both affordability challenges and pricing hesitation continue to shape decisions for buyers and sellers alike. The median listing price now sits at $419,000 (down roughly 1% year-over-year), with the median price per square foot at $222\u2014the lowest since early Q1 2026. While inventory gains and higher mortgage rates are gently shifting the market in buyers\u2019 favor, the overall pace remains measured, not dramatic. In my experience guiding clients through similar phases\u2014whether you\u2019re considering a move or weighing your options\u2014clear, up-to-date insights are key to navigating these evolving conditions with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The national housing market is showing signs of gradual rebalancing, with active inventory up about 4% year-over-year\u2014but for the first time in five weeks, that growth is slowing.
