Copperleaf community guide.

Quick answer: Copperleaf recorded 9 closed sales in September. The average sale price increased 2.9% from last year, while the average price per square foot declined 9.0%.

September’s closed sale mix leaned heavily toward larger detached homes. Eight of the nine sales had four or more bedrooms, and the average home size was about 6.8% larger than the September 2025 group. That mix helps explain why the average price rose while price per square foot moved lower.

What this means for homeowners

Use the community statistics as context, then compare your home with the most similar recent sales.

8 of 9
September sales had four or more bedrooms

Considering a basement finish or layout change?

The month’s sales show activity among larger homes, but the data does not establish whether an added bedroom creates more value than a large open recreation area. Before choosing a project, compare your home’s size, bedroom count, basement configuration, condition and likely buyer profile with the closest recent sales. A property specific review is more useful than applying the community average to every renovation decision.

For homeowners considering selling

  1. Price carefully at launch. Six of the nine September sales showed evidence of a price reduction.
  2. Use comparable sales from the same property type. The townhome and single family results were materially different.
  3. Prepare for a longer marketing period. September sales averaged nearly 36 days on market.
  4. Evaluate updates through the lens of the likely buyer. Condition, usable square footage and layout can matter as much as bedroom count.

For homeowners considering buying

  1. 23 active listings provide a meaningful range of choices within Copperleaf.
  2. Review each home’s price history. Price reductions appeared in two thirds of September sales.
  3. Compare monthly cost, not price alone. Association fees, taxes and financing can change affordability.
  4. Move quickly on a strong match, but use the inspection and comparable sales to shape your offer.

Copperleaf market questions

Short answers based on the September 2026 report and October 2 inventory snapshot.

How many Copperleaf homes sold in September 2026?

Nine homes closed during September 2026, compared with 10 in September 2025. That is a 10.0% year over year decline in monthly sales volume.

What was the average Copperleaf sale price?

The September 2026 average was $650,167, up 2.9% from $631,905 one year earlier. Eight of the nine September sales were single family homes with four or more bedrooms, so the property mix should be considered before applying the average to an individual home.

How much inventory was available in Copperleaf?

The October 2, 2026 snapshot included 23 active listings and two pending sales. Dividing active listings by September closings produces approximately 2.6 months of inventory. Competition can still differ by price, property type, condition and layout.

Does this report show whether I should add a bedroom or keep an open basement?

No. The data shows that eight of the nine September sales had four or more bedrooms, but it does not isolate the value of an added bedroom versus a larger open recreation area. Review the closest comparable homes, your basement's existing configuration and likely buyer needs before starting the project.

Data notes: Closed sale comparisons cover September 1–30, 2026 and September 1–30, 2025. Active and pending counts reflect the October 2, 2026 workbook snapshot. New listings use trailing 30 day periods ending October 2 of each year. Months of inventory equals current active listings divided by September 2026 closed sales.

Sale to original list ratio uses the closed sale price divided by the original listed price. A sale is classified as having a price reduction when the record shows a negative price change or a final asking price below its original listed price. Price per square foot uses the closed sale price divided by Total Square Feet.

Mortgage rates are simple averages of the September weekly 30 year fixed rate readings published in the Freddie Mac PMMS archive. Individual rates vary by borrower and loan terms.
