One part of northwest 377-505 looks much slower than the rest

Real estate, northwest 377-505

The big story for October 18, 2026 is this: one ZIP code in northwest 377-505 is carrying far more weight than buyers want. In ZIP 27214, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 7.9 months of supply for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is the number that should shape every decision a homeowner there makes right now.

Seven-point-nine months means buyers in ZIP 27214 have choices. Lots of them. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found 57 homes for sale there, up 46.2% from the same period a year ago. More supply means buyers can wait, compare and push back on price.

The median sale price in ZIP 27214 fell to $357,750, down 27.7% from a year before, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is a real drop, not a rounding error. Price sensitivity there is not a theory. It is what the numbers show.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings had price cuts in September, the highest share since October 2022. That is the backdrop. ZIP 27214 is feeling that pressure more than its neighbors.

The rest of northwest 377-505 tells a different story

Step outside ZIP 27214 and the picture changes. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 2.1 months of supply in ZIP 27357, down 0.9 months from a year ago. That is a tight market. Homes sold there rose 22.7% year over year.

ZIP 27310 had 2.7 months of supply, and the median sale price climbed to $700,000, up 4.2% from a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. ZIP 27358 sat at 3.4 months of supply, with a median price of $599,500, also up 1.3%.

Across all four ZIPs, sales are actually growing

Together, ZIPs 27214, 27357, 27358 and 27310 sold 216 homes in the three months ending August 31, 2026. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows that is up 11.9% from a year ago. Pending sales across all four ZIPs rose 5.4% as well. The market as a whole is not stalled.

Still, mortgage rates make every buyer cautious right now. Fannie Mae, as reported by CNBC, forecast the 30-year fixed rate at 7.4% for the fourth quarter of 2026. A buyer watching their monthly payment thinks hard before stretching on price.

What this means if you own in ZIP 27214

With 57 homes competing for 22 buyers in a quarter, the list price has to be honest. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that homes in ZIP 27214 sold at 98.7% of list price on average. That sounds close. But with supply up 46.2%, a price that is even a little high can sit.

There is one bright spot in ZIP 27214. Pending sales rose 10% from a year ago. And 42.4% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, up 2.4 points, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Well-priced homes are still moving. The ones that are not are pulling the median down.
