If you are buying
What this means for you
- Putnam's August 2026 median came in 7.8% below August 2025. In a small county, a single month's median swings on the mix of houses that happened to close, so treat this as an opening rather than a trend.
- Inventory here is genuinely thin. When the right house appears you often have days, not weeks, which is exactly why being pre-approved matters.
- Ask us for the specific comparable sales on any house you like. In a county this size, three closings can move the median.
If you are selling
What this means for you
- One soft month does not mean you have to discount. It does mean your price needs to come from actual recent closings near you, not from the county headline.
- Low inventory still limits what buyers can compare you against, which is an advantage if the house shows well.
- We will walk you through the specific sales behind the number before you commit to a price.
“A county median is a starting point. Your street is the answer.”
