Oxford Real Estate Market Update – October 2025
The Oxford real estate market saw notable shifts in October 2025 compared to September, as reflected in the latest numbers from the North Central MS Board of Realtors. Here's a quick look at the most important trends affecting buyers, sellers, and investors this fall.
Fewer Sales, Higher Inventory
October brought a slight increase in new listings, rising 6.04% from 182 in September to 193 in October. Despite this uptick in new houses coming to market, both pending and closed sales dipped. Pending sales dropped 6% month-over-month, and closed transactions saw a steeper decline, falling 29.41% from 136 to just 96 sold homes.
Declining Sales Prices and Volumes
The market’s cooling trend appeared across the board in sale prices and transaction volume:
The median sales price declined 24.55%, from $446,000 in September to $336,500 in October.
The average sales price also slid 16.64%, coming in at $414,455 for October.
Closed sales volume shrank significantly, down 41.16% from September’s $67.6M to $39.7M in October.
Pending sales volume saw a drastic drop of 91.41% compared to the previous month.
More Inventory, Longer Time on Market
Active inventory and the time it takes to sell homes both climbed:
Average days on market increased by nearly 10%, reaching 114 days in October from 104 in September.
Months supply of inventory increased 43.93%, rising to 7.11 months, suggesting it’s becoming more of a buyer’s market.
Available inventory was marginally higher, with 683 homes for sale compared to 672 the prior month.
Other Key Market Stats
Sellers received, on average, 97.24% of their list price in October, a slight improvement from September.
The absorption rate decreased to 0.14, versus 0.20 in September, indicating a slower pace of sales relative to the available inventory.
What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
Buyers will find a slightly more favorable environment this fall, with expanded inventory and homes staying on the market longer, which can translate to more choices and negotiating power. Sellers, meanwhile, should be aware of the need for competitive pricing as the market continues to cool, especially with median and average sales prices trending down.
