Pricing & Value Trends

September's numbers show some cooling compared with August.

In August, 64 residential properties closed, with a median sale price of $529,500. September recorded 53 sales with a $475,000 median, representing approximately a 10% decrease in the median sale price from the previous month.

The average sale price also moved from approximately $572,599 in August to $525,142 in September.

The range of sales remained broad, however, with properties closing from $107,000 up to $1,407,450. This continues to demonstrate the diversity of Mendocino County's housing market, from more affordable properties to higher-end residential sales.

The median sold price per square foot was $314.07, compared with $341.61 in August, another indication that September's mix of closed properties shifted toward more moderately priced homes.

Time on Market Insights

Marketing time increased during September, with a median of 76 days on market and an average of 133 days.

Of the 53 closed sales:

9 homes sold within 0–30 days

14 homes sold within 31–60 days

8 homes sold within 61–90 days

7 homes sold within 91–120 days

15 homes took more than 120 days to sell

That means approximately 43% of September's closed properties sold within the first 60 days, while about 28% were on the market for more than 120 days.

Pricing also made a noticeable difference. Properties closing within the first 30 days sold for an average of approximately 97.4% of their original asking price, while properties taking more than 120 days averaged approximately 74.7% of their original asking price.

This reinforces how important accurate pricing, presentation, property condition, and a strong marketing strategy can be when bringing a home to market.

Market Snapshot Takeaway

September reflected a more selective Mendocino County housing market than the previous month. Sales volume declined, median pricing softened, and properties generally took longer to sell.

For sellers, this makes realistic pricing and strong preparation increasingly important. Homes that are positioned properly from the beginning can still attract buyers and achieve stronger results, while properties that remain on the market for extended periods may face greater negotiation on price.

For buyers, longer marketing times on some properties may create additional opportunities to negotiate, particularly when a home has been available for several months.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply want to understand what homes are actually selling for in your area, following the most recent closed-sale data provides a clearer picture of the current Mendocino County real estate market.
