Venus posted some big swings this month, and I want to be upfront about why: with only 17 homes closing, a handful of sales can move every percentage you see here. The median sales price came in at $313,900, down 18.5% from August, and homes sat on the market a median of 46 days, down 45.2%. Inventory eased to 110 homes for sale, down 10.6%, and months of supply slipped to 4.9, down 24.6% — still comfortably in balanced-to-seller territory. New listings were the one line that ran the other way, up 19.4% to 43, even as closed sales dipped 22.7% to 17. Price per square foot landed at $178, down 5.8%.
In plain terms: Venus is a small enough market that one slow month or one cluster of lower-priced closings can swing these numbers more than the headline percentages suggest. The underlying story is steadier than it looks — new listings are picking back up, and supply is still manageable. If you're buying or selling in Venus, I'd lean on the trend over the last few months rather than any single month's snapshot, and I'm glad to walk you through what the local comps actually show.
