Nixa’s October 2026 median sale price was $315,900, down 11.7% from a year ago, on 43 priced closings. That drop is about which homes sold, not falling values: Nixa’s year-to-date median is still up 8.1%, the largest gain of the eight cities in this report. Homes also sold much faster, in a median of 22 days against 42.5.
Here is what changed in October, including a sharp drop in new listings after September’s jump.
Absorption rate: 3.07 months. Nixa has 3.07 months of supply at the current sales pace. Under 6 months is generally a seller’s market; 3 to 6 months still favors sellers, but buyers have more room.
Why October’s median fell
Nixa had no sales between $500,000 and $600,000 in October, against 6 a year ago, and none between $700,000 and $900,000, against 3. Meanwhile the $300K to $400K range grew to 17 sales from 14, and the $200K to $250K range to 8 from 6. In all, 4 homes sold at $500,000 or more, against 11 a year ago. Two of this year’s closed above $1 million, which kept the average closer to last year at $386,205, down 2.3%. Only 16 of the 43 sales closed under $300,000. On a few dozen sales a month, a handful of higher-priced closings can move the median a lot, so the year-to-date median of $337,165 is the better read on value.
