Mueller Market Update: July 2026
Row homes and single-family homes are telling two completely different stories in Mueller right now…
Ashley Jackson and I just finished pulling July's numbers, and the split is one of the clearest we've seen all year: row homes are picking up speed and shedding price resistance, while single-family homes never stopped being the segment everyone wants.
Here's what the data actually shows, and what it means depending on which side of Mueller you're buying or selling into.
Watch our video breakdown here:
Mueller Row Home Market - July 2026
Closed Sales: 6, up 200% year-over-year
Price Per Square Foot: $397, up slightly year-over-year
Days on Market: 35
Median Age: 10 years
Close-to-Original-List Price: 96.9%
Six closings is a real jump for this segment, and the story behind that number is affordability. Some row home sellers cut their prices to move inventory, and buyers responded. That's also why row homes are pricing lower per square foot than single-family homes right now - it's a direct reflection of value-driven demand rather than a market losing steam.
Thirty-five days on market is the number I'd point to if you only had time to look at one metric. Row homes are moving noticeably faster than they were, and a 96.9% close-to-list ratio tells me buyers negotiated some genuine deals along the way, without sellers giving away the store.
A median age of 10 years is worth a mention too. That's a fairly even mix of newer and older sections of the neighborhood, so this isn't a story about one pocket of Mueller carrying the segment. Buyers are shopping across the row home stock, not just the newest construction.
Mueller Single-Family Home Market - July 2026
Closed Sales: 2 (a small sample, so treat these numbers with some caution)
Median Sale Price: $1.1 million
Average Size: 2,231 square feet
Median Age: 12 years
Close-to-Original-List Price: 100.4%
Price Per Square Foot: $495.47
Two closed sales is a small enough sample that I don't want to overstate July's single-family numbers, but the direction is consistent with everything we've tracked this year. Buyers closed at 100.4% of list price, meaning they paid over asking to get these homes. That's not a market cooling off.
Price per square foot landed at $495.47, roughly $100 more per square foot than row homes. That gap is the clearest evidence of what's really happening in Mueller: yard homes command a real premium, and buyers are still willing to pay it even after a slower overall market these past few years.
The Bigger Picture
Two segments, two different stories. Row homes are recovering on speed and price after some soft years, and single-family homes never stopped being in demand. If you're a row home seller, July's numbers are the encouragement you've been waiting for - buyers are back, and they're closing faster than they were. If you own a single-family home, you're sitting in the segment that's held its ground through every rate swing this market has thrown at it.
For Buyers:
If you've been eyeing a row home, July's 35-day close time and 96.9% close-to-list ratio suggest the segment is heating up. Waiting could mean facing less room to negotiate. For single-family, be ready to move - with only two closings this month, well-priced yard homes aren't sitting around.
For Sellers:
Row home sellers: pricing to move is working, and buyers are rewarding it with faster closes. Single-family sellers: the premium buyers are paying for yard homes hasn't budged, so lean into that demand with strong presentation and accurate pricing from day one.
