Real estate, colfax

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 27 homes sold in Colfax in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 107.7% from the same months in 2025. Buyers are active here, even when the national picture looks different.

Nationally, Redfin reported that sellers outnumbered buyers by 62.6% in September. Redfin also put the estimated number of buyers at 928,892, the lowest since 2013. Colfax moved in the opposite direction.

Homes are selling, but they are taking longer

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market in Colfax at 81 days for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 39 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not every home moves fast, and that is worth knowing before you set a price.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also counted 21 pending sales in Colfax, up 40% from a year ago. That pipeline suggests buyers have not walked away from the neighborhood.

Prices climbed, and sellers got close to asking

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in Colfax at $453,420 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 17.4% from the same months in 2025. For comparison, the Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose just 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Colfax outpaced the country by a wide margin.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found the average sale price came in at 99.2% of list price. That slipped 0.4 points from a year ago, a small dip. Sellers are still getting very close to what they asked.

More than 4 in 10 homes went under contract within two weeks

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 42.9% of Colfax homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is up 16.2 points from a year ago. When the right home hits the market at the right price, buyers in Colfax can move quickly.

Also, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 33.3% of homes selling above list price, up 10.2 points from a year ago. That is roughly 1 in 3 homes. Not every seller gets there, but more did this period than last year.

A note on the national backdrop

Redfin reported the weekly average mortgage rate hit 7.4% on October 8, a three-year high. Redfin also noted the median U.S. home-sale price rose just 0.5% year over year, the slowest growth since March. Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price reductions in September, the highest share since October 2022. Colfax has not followed that script, but the national pressure is real.

One more thing: one street in Colfax can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above cover all of 27235. Your block may be faster or slower, higher or lower.
