Ten Years of October $1M+ Sales

Who Is Buying
Nine of October's 15 buyers paid cash, 5 used conventional financing and 1 used owner financing. Over the past twelve months 305 of 405 buyers over $1 million paid cash. That is 75%. This is a buyer who planned the move well ahead and is not watching rate headlines.
The Past Twelve Months
- 405 sales over $1 million from November 2025 through October 2026
- 65 days median time on market
- 94.2% median sale-to-list price
The twelve-month view is the one to watch in this price range. A single month can swing on a handful of sales. Over a full year the pattern is clear: homes over $1 million are selling at about 94% of list price in roughly two months.
Inventory and Months of Supply
There are 293 homes over $1 million in inventory, counting every active, pending, pending with contingency and withdrawn listing. Against about 34 sales a month that is 8.7 months of supply. City-wide supply sits at 6.8 months.
Supply over $1 million is up from 7.8 months last month. Buyers in this price range have a little more to choose from heading into season.
For buyers that means real choice and time to compare communities. For sellers it means preparation and presentation matter. The homes that stand out are the ones in front of the right buyers.
