Real Estate Market Update - October 2025: 30A West Balances the Scales with Steady Gains
Published October 2025 — Data through end of September 2025
If 30A East found its rhythm this month, 30A West quietly matched the beat. September brought strong sales, a sharp drop in days on market, and a healthy pricing reset that suggests balance is returning to the west end. It’s still a buyer’s market, but one that feels a little less lopsided.
📈 Sales Stayed Strong
-
31 homes sold — up 47.6% year-over-year and holding steady from August.
-
26 homes went under contract, down 18.7% month-over-month, but still 18.2% higher than last year.
Sales stayed consistent even with fewer pendings, hinting that closings are keeping pace while fresh activity momentarily cooled.
🏡 Inventory Edged Up
-
For-sale listings rose 2% YOY and 1% MOM, giving buyers plenty to browse.
-
Months of inventory sat at 13.2, down 30.8% YOY but up 0.8% from August — still comfortably in buyer’s market territory.
The takeaway? Supply is healthy, but not ballooning, which helps keep pricing from slipping too far.
💰 Prices Took a Breather
After two strong months, pricing pulled back — but context matters.
-
Average sold price: $1,600,000 — up 56.4% YOY, down 20.8% MOM.
-
Median sold price: $900,000 — down 16.3% YOY and 29.9% MOM.
-
Price per square foot: $674 — down 11.1% from August, but up 43.4% from last year
The six-month trend shows prices holding “neutral” — meaning the market’s adjusting to post-summer realities, not collapsing.
⏳ Homes Moved Faster
Sellers got a nice surprise this month:
-
Days on market: 88 — down 24.8% from last month and 49.1% from last year.
-
Sold-to-original list price: 87% — unchanged year-over-year, which means sellers are still negotiating, but not conceding more than before.
That nearly 50% drop in market time suggests serious buyers are acting decisively when the right home comes along.
🔑 The Takeaway
For buyers: You’ve still got leverage, but inventory isn’t growing like it was — and well-priced homes are selling faster.
For sellers: September proved that patience and proper pricing still pay off. The buyers are there, but they know the market — so presentation and pricing precision are everything.
