Average sale price down 7.3%" is the kind of headline that makes homeowners nervous. So I went through all 44 July sales individually to find out what was actually behind it. 🏡

Short version: it's mostly about which homes sold.

Sales under $500K doubled compared to last July (9 → 18). Meanwhile the $600–700K range dropped from 17 sales to 10. Move that many transactions from the upper-middle of the market down to the entry level and the average falls — without any individual home losing value.

The check on that: median price per square foot came in at $298, versus $297 in July 2025. Median home size and median year built were nearly identical too. It's one month and a small sample, so I wouldn't call it proof — but it points the same direction as the price-band shift.

What IS a genuine change: transaction volume above $600K really did slow. If you're selling in that range, plan for a longer timeline and more negotiation than last year.

Everything else — inventory, days on market, and where July's sales actually happened — is in the full post: https://www.andrewblais.com/blog/beaumont-market-update-july-2026/

"Leave a little room to negotiate."

That advice worked great in 2024. In today's Beaumont market, it's the fastest way to watch your home sit. 🏡

Here's what changed: homes are now averaging 71 days on market — nearly double last year — and buyers have 29% more listings to choose from. June alone brought 106 new listings, the most in at least six years.

But here's what didn't change: homes are still selling, and prices are still up about 3%. Sellers who price accurately are still getting 98.6% of asking on average.

The difference is that strategy matters now. In my latest post I break down the 5 things Beaumont sellers need to know in 2026 — including one most people never factor in: a big share of your competition isn't other families, it's builders with quick-possession homes and incentives.

One thing most buyers don't realize when they walk into a showhome: the friendly sales staff work for the builder — not for you. 🏡
That's just one of the things I cover in my honest look at Élan, Beaumont's award-winning new community. No brochure language — the real picture:
✔️ What homes actually cost, from $420s semi-detached to $1.6M custom estates
✔️ Why the days-on-market stat looks scary on paper but isn't
✔️ The trade-offs the showhome tour won't mention — tight lots, years of construction, and exterior rules
✔️ 90 days of real MLS sales data on what's actually selling (hint: 9 of the last 13 sales closed under $500K)
✔️ Schools, commutes, parks, and the off-leash dog park next door
Whether Élan is right for you comes down to knowing which trade-offs you can live with — before you fall in love with a showhome.

An honest look at living in Élan, Beaumont — real pricing from the $420s, all three school divisions, commute times, trade-offs, and 90 days of actual sales data

When construction started in Élan, my honest reaction was: "wow, they are really building close together." 😅
Now that Beaumont's award-winning new community is filling in, I took a proper look — and wrote up everything I'd tell a buyer over coffee:
✔️ Real pricing, from $420s semi-detached to $1.6M custom estates
✔️ What 90 days of actual sales data says about what's moving (hint: it's the under-$500K product)
✔️ Schools for all three divisions, commute times, parks
✔️ The trade-offs, honestly — tight lots, construction living, and why the days-on-market stat is misleading
✔️ One thing every new-build buyer should know before walking into a showhome

Homes in Beaumont are taking 71 days to sell — nearly double what it took a year ago. 🏡
Sound alarming? It's not. It's actually the clearest sign yet that our market is rebalancing, and I broke down exactly what's happening in my Q2 2026 market update.
The short version: sellers are coming back (listings up 21.5%), prices are still climbing (average sale hit $580K), and buyers finally have real negotiating room for the first time in a couple of years.
Whether that's good news or a wake-up call depends on which side of the deal you're on — and the right strategy for each looks very different than it did last summer.

Is the Beaumont market cooling off?
Not exactly — but it IS changing. 🏡

I just published my Q2 2026 market update, and the story is clear: listings are up 21.5%, sales are growing at a slower pace, prices are still rising (average sale price hit $580K), and homes are taking 71 days to sell — nearly double last year.
What does that mean? If you're selling, pricing strategy matters more than it has in years. If you're buying, this is the most negotiating room you've had in a while.
