Civita Market Update July 2026

July brought another shift in the Civita housing market. Inventory tightened, new listings slowed, and closed sales outpaced the number of new homes coming to market. At the same time, homes took longer to sell, reinforcing that buyers remain active but selective when deciding where they see value.

What stood out this month

Active inventory dropped from 29 listings in June to 20 in July, while months supply declined from 7.1 to 6.0. Only 5 new listings came to market during the month compared with 7 closed sales, which helped reduce the amount of available inventory across Civita.

Pricing remained strong. The average sales price increased to $1,251,600, while the median reached $1,220,000. Average price per square foot came in at $697 and the median finished at $679, showing that pricing continues to vary depending on floor plan, condition, location, and the specific homes that close each month.

Market time moved higher, with an average of 57 days and a median of 62 days. That is an important reminder that lower inventory does not automatically mean every home will sell quickly. Buyers continue to compare their options carefully, making realistic pricing and strong presentation especially important.

Home prices moved higher in July, with an average sales price of $1,251,600 and a median of $1,220,000. With 7 closed sales during the month, the pricing data provides a broader picture than some of the lower-volume months earlier this year.

Pricing

Average vs Median Price Per Square Foot

Average price per square foot increased to $697, while the median came in at $679. Differences between the two continue to reflect the wide variety of floor plans, home sizes, locations, and upgrades found throughout Civita.

Market Pace

Average vs Median Market Time

Market time increased in July, with an average of 57 days and a median of 62 days. Buyers remain active, but the longer selling times show they are taking a measured approach and are not rushing into every available home.

Negotiation

Average List to Sales Price

Closed sales averaged 96.2% of list price in July. Buyers continue to negotiate, reinforcing the importance of setting an appropriate asking price from the beginning.

Inventory

Months Supply of Inventory

Months supply declined to 6.0 in July after reaching 7.1 in June. The drop reflects fewer available homes and a month in which closed sales outpaced new listings.

Activity

Sales vs New Listings

July was one of the few recent months where closed sales outpaced new inventory. Seven homes closed while only 5 new listings came to market, helping bring overall inventory lower.

Inventory

Active vs Pending Listings

Active inventory fell to 20 homes at the end of July, while 1 listing was pending. The lower pending count reinforces that buyers remain selective even as the overall number of available homes has declined.

Volume

Sales Volume

Sales volume totaled $6,258,000 in July. While lower than June, the month still produced 7 closed transactions and considerably more volume than the slower spring months.

Two-Month Market Snapshot

The charts above reflect monthly Civita market activity through the end of July 2026. The snapshot below provides a broader look at recent active, pending, and sold activity, with the sold transactions covering June and July.

The current CMA includes 24 active listings, 2 pending listings, and 11 homes that sold during the recent period. Recent sales covered a wide range of price points, from the mid-$800,000s to nearly $2 million, illustrating how varied the Civita market can be from one property type to another.

Status Count Avg Size Avg DOM Avg Price Avg $/SF
Active 24 1,819 SF 66 $1,335,008 LP $739.02
Pending 2 2,288 SF 22 $1,947,500 LP $851.08
Sold 11 1,773 SF 47 $1,230,817 SP $698.53

Recent sold homes averaged approximately $1.23 million and 47 days on market. At the same time, active homes are averaging a higher list price and a longer 66 days on market. That gap reinforces the importance of pricing realistically, particularly when buyers have comparable homes to choose from.

Curious where your home fits in today’s market?

In Civita, pricing is rarely just about square footage. Floor plan, view, privacy, upgrades, and exact location within the community can all impact value in a meaningful way.

Even with inventory declining in July, buyers remain selective and are comparing homes carefully. Understanding how your property stacks up against both current competition and recent sales can make a meaningful difference when determining value.
