The number of sales more than quadrupled, from 31 in Sept 2022 – Aug 2023 to 143 in the trailing 12 months, as Nolina’s new-construction sections came online. The trailing median sale price of $485,000 is close to the first period’s $479,000 (up 1.3%) but 11.8% below the $550,000 median in Sept 2024 – Aug 2025.
Median price per square foot fell 29.9%, from $272.94 to $191.35. That mostly reflects a shift from rural acreage sales (a median of 2 acres in the first period) to newer, larger homes on lots of about 0.17 acre. Median days on market rose from 29 to 95, while homes still close at 99% of list price.
