Kathy Sokolic and Ashley Jackson deliver a spirited September 2025 market update for the Mueller neighborhood, noting that while the market may feel a bit “spooky” right now, opportunity is everywhere for both buyers and sellers who understand the conditions. Row homes are experiencing higher inventory and longer days on market, making move-in-ready presentation more critical than ever to avoid buyer “ghosting.” On the flip side, single-family home sales surged year over year, signaling a delayed spring market and giving motivated buyers room to negotiate favorable deals. With plenty of active listings across the board, the message is clear: buyers have choices, and sellers need strong pricing and smart marketing to stand out.

Key Takeaways:

• Row homes showed 2 closings, despite MLS data initially reflecting only 1.

• There are 12 active row-home listings, translating to nearly 4 months of inventory, which is considered high.

• Median price per square foot for row homes landed around $409–$410.

• Days on market are long for row homes, reinforcing the need for homes to be move-in ready to avoid “buyer ghosting.”

• Single-family home sales were up 200% year-over-year, with 6 closings in September.

• The median build year for closed single-family homes was 2014, indicating older inventory is selling.

• Sellers accepted about 93% of original list price, meaning buyers scored stronger deals.

• Single-family homes have 3 months of inventory and 11 active listings, showing more buyer leverage and options.

• Overall sentiment: the market feels “spooky,” but with the right marketing and condition, homes will sell in the current buyer-friendly environment.
