In September 2026, median sale prices were higher than a year earlier in Clark, Greene, Champaign and Montgomery counties, according to Redfin. Fewer homes sold than a year earlier in Clark, Champaign and Montgomery, while Greene sold more. Buyers had more homes to look at in all four counties, with active listings up from September 2025, according to Realtor.com® Economic Research.
This report uses two public sources that measure different things. Redfin figures describe homes that sold (closed sales) in the calendar month of September 2026. Realtor.com figures describe homes listed for sale, including asking prices, not sale prices. The two are shown separately below and should not be compared as if they measured the same thing.

Clark County
- The median sale price was $222,003, up 8.3% from a year earlier, while homes sold fell 12.1% to 133.
- Homes that went under contract did so in a median of 34 days, 4 days faster than September 2025.
- There were 281 active listings, up 6.3%, and the median asking price of $226,225 was close to last year (down 0.5%).
Greene County
- Homes sold rose 7.0% to 186, at a median sale price of $308,210 (up 2.6%).
- Active listings rose 36.7% to 350, and new listings rose 12.5% to 216.
- The median asking price was $324,475, down 7.1% from a year earlier.
Champaign County
- Champaign is a small market, and 25 sales in one month is a small sample. A few sales can shift the median and the percent changes a lot, so read these figures as a snapshot rather than a trend.
- The median sale price was $236,970, up 3.1%, and homes sold at an average of 98.7% of their final list price.
- Active listings rose 78.9% to 81, and the median asking price was $315,000, up 16.7%.
Montgomery County
- Homes sold fell 11.5% to 591, while the median sale price rose 3.2% to $226,992.
- Active listings rose 26.5% to 1,394, and the median asking price was $209,900, down 7.2%.
- The median time to go under contract was 36 days, the same as a year earlier.
What this means for buyers
- In all four counties there were more active listings in September 2026 than in September 2025, so buyers had more homes to compare.
- Homes sold on average for 97.4% to 98.7% of their final list price, depending on the county. That means the typical sale closed slightly below the last asking price.
- Median sale prices were still higher than a year earlier in every county shown, so a larger choice of homes did not mean lower prices across the board.
What this means for sellers
- More listings means more competition for buyer attention. Active listings were up between 6.3% (Clark) and 78.9% (Champaign).
- Median sale prices were up between 2.6% (Greene) and 8.3% (Clark) from a year earlier.
- With homes selling on average a little under final list price, pricing from recent nearby sales matters. A conversation about a specific home starts with the sales around it, not a county median.
About the numbers
- Redfin figures are for the single calendar month of September 2026 (September 1 to 30) at the county level, all residential property types. Redfin's median days on market counts days from listing to going under contract. Redfin data is subject to revision.
- Realtor.com figures are listing data for September 2026. They show what is for sale and at what asking price, not what sold.
- Figures from other sources, such as local REALTOR® association reports, may differ because they cover different areas, property types and time periods.
