Pricing & Value Trends

The median closed price was $334,500, while the average closed price was $374,225. The difference between the median and average indicates that higher-priced transactions helped pull the overall average upward, while the typical closed sale remained in the mid-$300,000 range.

The median home sold for approximately $233.56 per square foot, while the countywide average was $242.89 per square foot.

Properties also closed relatively close to their listed prices. The median sale-to-list ratio was 98.3%, meaning the typical property sold for just under its asking price. Across all 74 transactions, the average was approximately 96.9% of list price.

For both buyers and sellers, these numbers demonstrate why looking beyond asking price alone is important when determining current market value.

Time on Market Insights

Lake County homes that closed during September had a median market time of 72 days and an average of 90 days on market.

The difference between the median and average suggests that some properties remained available considerably longer than the typical home before eventually closing. The longest marketing period among September's closed properties reached 350 days.

For sellers, this continues to reinforce the importance of establishing a competitive price from the beginning. Properties that are priced appropriately for their location, condition, size, and surrounding competition have a better opportunity to attract serious buyers.

For buyers, properties that have accumulated longer market times may sometimes create opportunities for additional negotiation, depending on the seller's circumstances and overall demand for that particular home.
