Reporting Period: Jan 1–Jan 31, 2026 • Data via NTREIS
PRICES
Heath’s median sold price in January was $600,500, down 37.4% compared to January 2025. In a luxury-leaning market like Heath, monthly pricing can swing significantly based on which homes actually closed, especially when the number of sales is limited. The key takeaway is that buyers are still purchasing, but price expectations are being tested when inventory expands and options increase.
SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales increased to 12, up 33.3% year over year. That improvement suggests demand is still present, even as affordability and rate sensitivity influence decision-making. Homes that feel like the best combination of location, condition, and value are the ones most likely to convert to a contract.
INVENTORY
Active listings rose to 157, up 46.7% from last January, which changes the competitive landscape. The most active price band for available inventory is $1,000,000+, representing 38.9% of active listings—so sellers are competing in a high-expectation segment where presentation and pricing discipline matter. With more selection, buyers have more leverage to compare, negotiate, and wait for the right fit.
MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory moved to 13.1, up from 7.0 a year ago, indicating a more buyer-leaning environment. Market pace reflects that shift: the median home spent about 87 days on market, plus roughly 31 days to close, for a total of about 118 days from list to close. The market is still moving, but it’s rewarding listings that are priced realistically and marketed with a clear value story.
Heath is starting 2026 with noticeably more inventory, which should keep buyers selective and negotiation active—especially in higher price tiers where expectations are high. If mortgage rates soften later in the year, the most desirable homes (updated finishes, strong floorplans, and premium lots) could see competition return even if overall inventory stays elevated. Sellers who price realistically and prepare thoroughly should still perform well, but “hope pricing” is less likely to be rewarded when buyers have choices. For buyers, 2026 should offer continued opportunities to negotiate repairs, credits, and terms, particularly on homes that have been sitting. Overall, this market is likely to reward strategy and presentation more than urgency.
