What each metric means (and why it matters)

• Median price ($199,900, down 14.9%)
  The median is the middle sale price (half sold for more, half for less). A 14.9% drop is large year-over-year and indicates either (A) an actual price decline in the market, or (B) a composition effect (a higher share of lower-priced homes sold this month, which pulls the median down). The price-distribution bars (lots of sales in the $100–199k and $200–299k ranges) support a strong lower-price-market presence. Redfin

• Price distribution
  This shows how sales are spread across price ranges. Here, ~78.2% of closings are under $300k, so the market is concentrated in the affordable / lower-mid tiers; luxury inventory is effectively zero in this snapshot.

• Active listings (▲12.2%)
  More homes on the market than a year ago — supply has increased.

• Closed sales (▲8.9%)
  More transactions than last year, but not as fast a rise as listings. More sales can coexist with a falling median price if more lower-priced homes are the ones selling.

• Days on Market / Days to Close / Total (93 days)
  58 days is how long a typical listing sits on the market before going under contract; 35 days from contract to closing. Total is 93 days and is 10 days longer than last year — transactions are taking longer, which suggests slower buyer urgency or longer time for financing/appraisals/inspections.

• Months of inventory (5.7, up from 5.0)
  Months of inventory = how long it would take to sell the current inventory at the current sales pace. Rough rule-of-thumb:

  • <4 months = seller’s market

  • ~4–6 months = balanced market

  • 6 months = buyer’s market
    At 5.7 months the market is close to balanced (slightly toward more supply compared to last year). The increase from 5.0 → 5.7 (a 14% increase) shows the market loosened.

Key Highlights

• Median Home Price: $199,900 (down 14.9% from July 2024)

• Active Listings: 477 homes (up 12.2%)

• Closed Sales: 98 homes (up 8.9%)

• Average Days on Market: 58 days before going under contract

• Average Days to Close: 35 days after contract

• Total Transaction Time: 93 days (10 days longer than last year)

• Months of Inventory: 5.7 months (up from 5.0 in July 2024)

Price Distribution

The biggest takeaway is how concentrated the market is in the lower price ranges:

• $100,000 – $199,999: 39.1% of sales

• $200,000 – $299,999: 27.6% of sales

• Under $300,000: 78.2% of all sales

Higher-end homes ($750,000 and above) accounted for 0% of sales this month, highlighting the market’s strong emphasis on affordability.

What This Means

• For Sellers: Homes are taking longer to sell, and buyers have more options. Pricing competitively and presenting your home in the best light is more important than ever.

• For Buyers: The increase in inventory means more choices and a bit more negotiating power. Just be prepared for an average 3-month process from listing to closing.

• For Investors: With prices down and inventory up, this could be a window of opportunity—especially in the sub-$300k range where most of the activity is happening.

The Bigger Picture

Compared to last year, Beaumont’s housing market is cooling. More homes are hitting the market, sales activity is holding steady, but the median price has dropped nearly $35,000 year-over-year. This shift is likely due to a higher share of sales in the lower price ranges, but it also reflects a market that’s balancing out after years of tight supply.
