Primary market homes are selling faster than the national pace
Here is the number that changes how you plan. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of 20 days on market in ZIP 57078 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. Realtor.com put the U.S. median at 64 days for the week ending October 24, 2026. That is a 44-day gap. Sellers, your prep and your price have to be right before day one. Buyers, you need to be ready to move.
Speed here is also picking up. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows that median was 9 days shorter than the same three months in 2025. Things are moving faster than they were a year ago.
Nearly 4 in 10 homes went under contract within two weeks, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That share is up 5.1 points from the same period in 2025. If your home is priced well and shows well, it likely will not sit long.
What the rest of the market looks like
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted only 70 homes for sale in ZIP 57078 during those three months. That is down 26.3% from a year before. Fewer choices for buyers means well-priced homes get attention fast.
The median sale price hit $295,000, up 10.5% from the same three months in 2025, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported prices up just 1.3% in September 2026. Primary market is running well ahead of that pace.
One thing worth knowing on the buyer side: Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. That is real money each month, so knowing what you can move on quickly matters even more when homes go fast.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator also shows 15.7% of homes sold above list price, up 3.8 points from a year before. Not every home gets a bidding war. But the share that does is growing.

One honest note: these are ZIP-code numbers. One street can read very differently from the whole. A block with newer builds, or one closer to a busy road, can move faster or slower than the 20-day median. Your specific address tells a more complete story.
