🔑 Key Takeaways
-
Shift Toward a Buyer’s Market
Higher inventory levels, longer DOM, and lower sales-to-list ratios all point toward buyers regaining leverage after several years of seller dominance.
-
Price Segmentation Matters
The sharp monthly drop in median price (-19.1%) alongside a strong year-over-year average price increase (+12.95%) suggests that luxury sales buoyed averages, while the broader market softened.
-
Cooling Demand + Rising Supply
With sales volume down and Months Supply of Inventory at nearly 7 months, sellers may need to adjust expectations on pricing and time frames.
📊 Market Implications For Buyers & Sellers
-
Shift in Buyer Activity: Mid-market buyers may be pulling back due to affordability constraints (higher interest rates, higher inventory). Luxury buyers, often less rate-sensitive, are still active.
-
Seller Strategy: Sellers of mid-priced homes may need to be more competitive, while luxury sellers can still command strong prices if their homes are well-positioned.
- Trend Reading: Looking only at averages or medians can be misleading — the mix of what sells matters as much as the price trend itself.
✅ In short: The change in the mix of homes sold has a significant impact. The September 2025 Ballantyne market shows that fewer mid-range closings dragged down the median, while higher-end sales propped up the average. This mixed signal is a hallmark of a shifting market.
The Ballantyne housing market in September 2025 is transitioning from a strong seller’s market to a more balanced or even buyer-favorable environment. Rising inventory and longer selling times suggest opportunities for buyers, while sellers may need to price strategically and be patient.
