The numbers: September and year to date
September only, compared with September 2025 (YoY):
| September only | Sep 2025 | Sep 2026 | Change (YoY) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active listings | 74 | 78 | +4 homes |
| Homes sold | 28 | 18 | -10 sales |
| Average sale price (one month, small sample) | $224,561 | $187,886 | not meaningful |
January to September 2026 (YTD), compared with the same months of 2025:
| January to September (YTD) | 2025 | 2026 | Change vs 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active listings, average month | 72 | 67 | down 6.8% |
| Homes sold | 150 | 131 | down 13% |
| Average sale price | $215,080 | $242,007 | up 13% |
These are two different views. September is one month. YTD adds up January to September. Average sale price is an average, not a median, so a few high or low sales can pull it.
A note on small numbers: Scottsburg has only a few dozen sales in a month, or fewer. One or two sales can move a monthly percentage a lot, so this post leans on counts and on January to September totals.
Is Scottsburg a buyer's or seller's market?
Short answer: a bit more room for buyers than a year ago. Using the average month so far this year, there were about 4.6 months of supply, compared with 4.3 for the same months of 2025. Months of supply is how long it would take to sell every home for sale at the current pace. Lower usually favors sellers, and higher gives buyers more room. This describes the past. It doesn't predict what comes next.
What this means for buyers
- Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, which can mean time to compare.
- Look at similar homes, not the average price. With few sales, one high sale can lift the average.
What this means for sellers
- Fewer buyers closed this year, so pricing matters.
- Price from recent sales of similar homes.
