Twin Falls Real Estate 2026: The Market Just Hit 1,000 Home Sales in September
Some numbers are worth stopping for. In September 2026, Twin Falls County crossed 1,009 homes sold year-to-date, a milestone that tells you everything you need to know about the underlying strength of Twin Falls real estate in 2026.
After August’s quieter month, September came back with a rebound. Sales up. Prices up. New construction surging. And inventory pulling back from its summer peak. Here’s what the market looks like as we head into the final quarter of the year.
What You Need to Know About the Twin Falls County Market:
Number of Residential Sales
104 single-family homes sold in Twin Falls County in September, up 4% from 100 in September 2025 and a meaningful bounce back from August’s softer numbers. But the number that really stands out is the year-to-date total: 1,009 homes closed in Twin Falls County through the first nine months of 2026, compared to 936 at this same point last year, a 7.8% increase.
Crossing 1,000 sales before October isn’t just a round number. It’s a signal that demand in Twin Falls real estate in 2026 has been real, consistent, and broad-based all year long. One slow month in August didn’t break the momentum; September proved that.

Buyer Success Guide: How to Buy a Home in Twin Falls Before the Holidays
Thinking about closing before the end of the year? With existing homes averaging just 59 days on market and motivated sellers ready to negotiate, the timeline is more doable than you think. This free guide walks you through every step so you can move with confidence and make it happen.
Months of Inventory (MOI)
With 399 active listings and 104 homes sold in September, inventory came in at 3.8 months, down from August’s recent high of 4.4 months and back into balanced market territory.
That pullback matters. August’s inventory spike raised some eyebrows, but September’s data suggests it was a seasonal blip rather than a structural shift. The market self-corrected, sales picked up, active listings ticked down, and the balance between buyers and sellers reset closer to where it’s been all year.
For sellers, that’s a more comfortable environment than August suggested. For buyers, the window of maximum leverage may already be narrowing heading into fall.
New Listings
123 new listings came to market in September, basically the lowest monthly count of the year and a continuation of the seasonal pullback that started in June. That’s not alarming; it’s completely normal for this time of year as the market shifts from its summer rhythm into fall.
What it does mean is that buyers have a tighter selection heading into Q4. If you’ve been watching the market and waiting for the perfect home to appear, the pool is shrinking. The good news is that the homes coming to market right now tend to be serious listings from motivated sellers, which creates real opportunity for buyers who are ready to move.
Average Sales Price
September delivered the strongest year-over-year average price growth for existing homes this year. The median sales price for existing homes came in at $370,000, up 3.2% from $358,500 in September 2025. The average sales price for existing homes hit $422,522, up a striking 9.1% from $387,315 last September.
Year-to-date the median sits at $370,000, up 2.8% from last year, while the year-to-date average is $413,205, essentially flat from 2025’s $413,533, showing the market has maintained its value consistently across all of Twin Falls real estate in 2026.
New construction held firm with a September median of $418,773 and an average of $452,810, up just slightly from last year’s $450,431, reflecting steady builder pricing as the new construction pipeline continues to deliver.
That 9.1% jump in existing home average prices isn’t just noise, it reflects a mix of higher-end homes closing in September and continued appreciation across the board. For homeowners tracking their equity, this is the number to pay attention to.
Days on Market
Here’s where September gets nuanced. Existing homes averaged 59 days on market, up from 49 days in September 2025, and a noticeable increase from the 50-day pace we saw in both June and July.
New construction averaged 96 days, up from 55 days in September 2025, continuing the longer absorption cycle builders have navigated all year.
The uptick in days on market for existing homes isn’t cause for alarm; it’s a natural result of inventory normalizing and buyers taking a little more time as the urgency of the spring and summer market fades. The homes that are priced right are still selling. The ones sitting longer are the ones that came to market with unrealistic expectations.

1,009 homes sold. Prices up. New construction surging 35% year-over-year. Inventory back in balance. September delivered one of the strongest months of the year at exactly the moment some people expected it to slow down.
