PRICES
Median price was $1,103,750, down just 1.0% from July 2025 — close to flat, though with only 6 sales this figure reflects which specific homes happened to close. Price per square foot fell more, down 9.7% to $255.04, which is worth watching but also should be read cautiously given the small sample.
SALES ACTIVITY
Lucas closed 6 sales in July, down from 7 a year ago. At this volume, a single fewer transaction produces a meaningful percentage swing.
INVENTORY
Active listings rose sharply, up 22.7% year over year to 54. Months of inventory climbed to 7.0, up from 4.4 last July — a real shift toward more buyer choice in this luxury market.
MARKET BALANCE
At 7.0 months of supply, Lucas leans firmly toward buyers. Days on market rose to 98, up 23 days from last July, and total time from list to close now averages 130 days. Homes are closing at 89.9% of original list price — more negotiation than most of our coverage area this month.
What Sellers Need to Know
- Buyers have significantly more choice — 7.0 months of supply is well into buyer-leaning territory.
- Expect real negotiation: the 89.9% close-to-list ratio is lower than most of our coverage area.
- Total time from list to close now averages 130 days — plan for a longer runway.
- The $1M+ segment made up 50.0% of closed sales this month.
What Buyers Need to Know
- With 7.0 months of supply, you have real leverage and time to be selective in Lucas.
- Median home size is a spacious 3,805 square feet — this market is built for larger luxury homes.
- Homes are sitting longer (98 days on market), so there's little reason to rush.
- Closed sales split evenly between $750K–$999K and $1M+ this month.
2026 Lucas Housing Market Forecast
Because Lucas sees relatively few transactions each month, we'd caution against drawing firm conclusions from any single reporting period, including this one. If inventory keeps growing, expect buyer-favorable conditions to persist through the rest of the year in this luxury market. If mortgage rates ease, watch for renewed interest at the upper end of the price range, which could help absorb some of the current supply. For now, both buyers and sellers are best served by a conversation grounded in specific comparable homes rather than the percentage swings alone.
