Over the past three months in Nottingham Country:
- 22 homes have sold
- Average list price: $466,000
- Average days on market: 64
- 15 homes are currently active
- 1 home is option pending
- 5 homes are pending
The overall pace suggests a market that is steady and more balanced than the intense competition we saw in previous years. Homes are selling, but buyers are taking their time and weighing options more carefully.
It’s not a slow market - it’s a more strategic one.
Market Brief: February 2026
A Recent case study
what we're seeing beneath the surface
a look at the last 90 days
An average of 64 days on market tells part of the story. But when you look more closely at specific home types, the picture becomes more nuanced.
When isolating 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath homes - one of the most common family layouts in Nottingham - the numbers shift:
- Average sold price: $422,945
- Average days on market: 13
- Sale price range: $380,000 to $467,000
- Days on market range: 4 to 44 days
That’s a meaningful difference! While some homes are taking longer to secure a contract, well-positioned 4-bedroom homes are still moving quickly - often in just a couple of weeks, and sometimes sooner.
This is less about timing and more about alignment - pricing, presentation, and understanding buyer expectations in this moment.
One recent 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on the I-10 side - located on the busier street feeding into the cul-de-sacs, yet walkable to the elementary school, high school, community center, and park - secured a contract in just four days.
The home was original, not renovated, but well maintained and situated on a larger 8,000+ square foot lot.
The approach was simple but intentional:
It was priced just above the lowest recent comparable for similar home stats. It launched on a Thursday. An open house was held the first weekend. By Monday, it was under contract, over list price.
In a market where the neighborhood average sits at 64 days, this kind of outcome doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a reminder that thoughtful positioning can still create momentum.
As we move further into spring, inventory is beginning to build. Buyers have options, but demand remains steady - particularly for functional, family-friendly layouts.
For homeowners who are thinking about selling later this year, preparation continues to matter. Small decisions around timing, pricing, and presentation can meaningfully influence both pace and outcome.
If you’re curious how your home might fit into the current Nottingham landscape, I’m always happy to provide a private, neighborhood-specific value review.
