Jackson Market Report – October 2025

My favorite month of the year is officially here! As someone with an October birthday, I love all things fall…pumpkin spice, fall festivals & sweater weather (at least in the mornings). I also consider October the official start of the holiday season & I fully expect the remainder of the year to fly by.

Traditionally, we expect home sales to slow down during the 4^th quarter each year, but that isn’t always the case. While there are many people who simply can’t imagine the thought of packing up and moving during this already busy season of the year, there are others who feel it’s the perfect time to make a move and start fresh in a new home for the new year.

Our homes serve us well over the years, but as life changes, you might decide it’s time to move. The idea of moving into the home that fits your lifestyle now sounds appealing. But first, you know you want to maximize your sale price.

No matter the season you decide to sell, you & I both know you’ve put too much into your home over the years to leave money on the table. As you consider selling, you deserve insight and guidance from an expert in your local market. Here are the top things to know about the Jackson area real estate market right now:

Days on Market have Increased

In September, the median days on market for sold properties here in Jackson was 45, up from 35 in August.  In the current market, it has become more important than ever for sellers to have the right strategy in place to prepare, price, and position it in a way that stands out to attract buyers’ attention and help them to see all the home has to offer.

Number of Properties Sold has Increased

In September, there were 30 closed home sales in Jackson, which was up from the 6-month low of 18 that we experienced in August. With the local market always changing, sellers should focus on making sure they’re working with a professional that knows the local market and will ensure their home is positioned in a way that reaches and appeals to as many potential buyers as possible.

Median Sale Price has Decreased

The median sale price in September decreased to $269k, down almost 24% from $354k in August. Although this is a steep month-over-month decrease, it is in line with the median prices we have seen all year…with the exception of August. This positions August as the outlier and suggests that while August saw fewer sales, the homebuyers who did make purchases were shopping at higher price points.  Homeowners who wish to sell right now should be sure to work with an agent who is monitoring these shifts to set appropriate prices and expectations from the start, to maximize sales price while minimizing days on market.
