Mortgage rates averaged nearly 6.7% in August after hovering around 6.5% most of the summer; we saw new sales activity continue to cool accordingly on a month-over-month basis.
August pending sales finished at 8,590, 4% behind 2025 (and down 5% from July to August).
Closed sales (7,803) were down 5% – the first time in six months that closings trailed 2025.
Homes sold for a median of $282,000, up 3%.
New listings slowed to 10,046 last month, 3% below August 2025 (but continued a five-month streak of 10,000+ listings).
Inventory was up 13% year-over-year: 20,793 homes were available on an average day in August, the highest single monthly inventory level in nearly six years.
Homes took 24 days to go under contract (three days longer than last August).

Every tradition you grew up with started as somebody’s random idea. One year your grandmother made the thing, and then she made it again, and forty years later it’s sacred.

Which means you’re allowed to invent them too. September is quietly the best month for it, because the calendar hasn’t filled with obligations yet. A few worth stealing:

The first-cold-morning breakfast. The first morning that actually feels like fall, somebody makes the big breakfast. No date on the calendar, the weather decides. Kids remember this stuff forever.

The apple orchard rematch. Same orchard, same weekend, same photo spot every year. The pictures get better as the kids get taller.

The September porch dinner. One dinner outside before the season closes, phones inside, good dishes outside. That’s the whole rule.

The neighborhood walk with cocoa. First crisp evening, walk the same loop, judge the early Halloween decorators lovingly.

Here’s the thing about home that took me years of walking through other people’s houses to learn: what makes a place feel like home isn’t the house. It’s the repetition inside it. The same table, the same season, the same people, one more year. That’s the thing buyers are actually shopping for and can’t name.

So start one this month. Pick something small, do it on purpose, and do it again next year. That’s the entire recipe.

What’s a fall tradition your family already has? Drop it in the comments, I’m always collecting good ones.

The corner lot has great PR. Bigger yard, more light, one direct neighbor, that anchor-of-the-street feel. Buyers pay a premium for it, and sometimes it’s worth every dollar.

But nobody hands you the other side of the ledger at closing. Swipe through it now instead.

The short version: everything about a corner lot scales. The mowing, the sidewalk, the fence, the leaves, the water bill, the audience. For some owners that trade is easily worth it. For others, it’s the thing they wish someone had said out loud during the showing.

That’s honestly the job in one sentence: telling you the second half of the story before you’re standing in it with a shovel.

Corner lot owners, the comments are yours. Worth it or not? The rest of us want the truth.

I'm delighted to bring this 1-bd, 1-ba property in Indianapolis to market!

Somebody is going to spend $2,000 on smart gadgets before listing this fall, and the buyers will walk right past every one of them.
Here's what changed. The doorbell, the thermostat, the smart locks: buyers stopped noticing them the way they stopped noticing dishwashers. They're baseline now. Expected. Nobody pays extra for expected.
What they ask about instead is infrastructure. The EV charger in the garage, because even the buyers driving gas cars are picturing their next car. Backup power, because one bad storm season taught everyone what the fridge and the sump pump are worth at 2am. The WiFi that reaches every corner of the house, because half of buyers now walk a showing with their phone out checking bars before they check closets. And the leak shutoff valve, because everyone knows someone with a water damage story and a five-figure repair bill.
The pattern underneath it: smart used to mean convenient. Now it means protected, powered, and connected. That's what reads as value in a showing.
If you're prepping a home to sell, this is the difference between money buyers walk past and money they bring up in the offer conversation.
Save this before you buy a single gadget. And tell me in the comments: what's the tech you're itching to get your hands on?
