Closed volume, 2026 vs. 2025
Price did the work, not pace. Closings rose 3.7% while volume rose 16.6%. The average sale moved $180,000 higher. Growth here came from the top of the market, not from transaction count.
Sale to list improved while the firm held flat. 96.7% against 96.3% last year, on 292 listing side sales. Travis is the only large region where this metric moved up.
June was the peak. 88 closings and $132.6 million. August fell to 50 closings and $81.3 million, the softest month since January. Watch the autumn pipeline.

Sample sizes. Sale to list price rests on 292 listing side sales this year (279 last year). Days on market rests on 283 (266 last year). Buy side transactions carry no list price or listing record and are excluded from both. That is a workable base for a median.
Source: Kuper Connect closed transactions, pulled 5 September 2026. Period is 1 January to 31 August 2026 and 2025, by close date. Volume counts each closed property once, whether KSIR held one side or both. Sale to list and days on market are listing side only. Records where the contract date precedes the list date, meaning pre-marketed and off market sales, are excluded from days on market. Internal document. Not for client distribution.
