The year-to-date average sale price and median sale price posted respectable gains as well. The average price totaled $166,133 while the median price came in at $142,900, each of them gains of six percent.

Single-family and condominium listing entries totaled 1,665 in September, down two percent over September 2017. Listings through the nine-month period totaled 16,728, down one percent over the same 2017 time period.
