Summerfield and Oak Ridge saw more sales, but buyers are moving at different speeds
The one fact that changes what you should do: Oak Ridge homes sat on the market a median of 33 days, while Summerfield homes took 52 days. That is a 19-day gap between two neighboring ZIP codes. Which side you are on shapes your whole pricing plan.
These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted all of them from actual closings in Summerfield and Oak Ridge.
Sales rose across both neighborhoods
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 113 homes sold across Summerfield and Oak Ridge combined, up 11.9% from the same months in 2025. Demand is still showing up. It is just moving at different speeds by neighborhood.
Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates surged above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That is a real headwind. Yet buyers here kept closing.
Oak Ridge moved faster. Summerfield took longer.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows Oak Ridge homes sat on the market a median of 33 days. That is only 4 days longer than last year. Summerfield homes took a median of 52 days, which is 18 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not every home sold fast, and Summerfield sellers felt that more.
Speed at contract tells a similar story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 46.2% of Oak Ridge homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, up 3.7 points from 2025. In Summerfield, 30.7% did, down 7.9 points from the year before. Nearly half of Oak Ridge listings found a buyer quickly. Summerfield was slower, and slowing further.
Prices held up in both neighborhoods
The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in Oak Ridge at $700,000, up 4.2% from 2025. In Summerfield, the median was $599,500, up 1.3%. Prices dipped a little in momentum, but they did not fall. Both neighborhoods finished higher than a year ago.

|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $599,500 | $700,000 |
| Price change vs. 2025 | up 1.3% | up 4.2% |
| Median days on market | 52 days | 33 days |
| Sale to list price | 98.1% | 98.8% |
| Homes sold | 62 | 51 |
| Months of supply | 3.4 months | 2.7 months |
Sellers got close to list price, but above-list deals got rarer
The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows Summerfield sellers averaged 98.1% of list price. That is down 0.8 points from 2025, but still close. Only 9.7% of Summerfield homes sold above list, down 22.4 points from a year ago. That is a real shift.
In Oak Ridge, sellers averaged 98.8% of list price, down just 0.2 points. About 17.7% of Oak Ridge homes sold above list, down 7.3 points. Still lower than last year, but holding better than Summerfield.
Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had their price reduced in September, the highest share since October 2022. That national pressure is real. Summerfield's above-list numbers show it is landing here too.
Supply stayed tight, especially in Oak Ridge
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 2.7 months of supply in Oak Ridge, up just 0.1 months from 2025. Summerfield had 3.4 months, down 0.6 months from last year. Both sit below the six months that signals a balanced market. Supply is still lean.
Nationally, Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes in September 2026. More choices exist across the country. Here in Summerfield and Oak Ridge, the shelves are still relatively thin.
Pending sales point in different directions
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 62 pending sales in Summerfield, up 40.9% from 2025. That is a strong forward signal for Summerfield. Oak Ridge had 39 pending sales, down 2.5%. Oak Ridge is still moving quickly, but its pipeline shrank a little.
What national rates mean for buyers here
Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates surged above 7% for the first time since January 2025. CNBC reported that a monthly payment on a median-priced home took about 33% of a median family's income in 2025. That was 26% in 2022. Buyers are stretching further. That is part of why some homes sit longer.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Summerfield at up 1.3% and Oak Ridge at up 4.2% fit inside that national range, with Oak Ridge running ahead of the U.S. average.
