Year-over-year figures in Universal point to substantial movement in both prices and pace. Median sale prices in the broader area climbed from about $77,500 in late 2023 to $87,500 by the end of 2024, and then up again to roughly $95,000 by early 2025, showing a steady upward trend.
Looking closer at more recent rolling three-month snapshots, prices continued to edge higher. By mid-2026, the median sale price reached about $143,750, up from $139,900 at the end of 2025, even as list prices fluctuated between roughly $74,450 and $259,900 over the same period.
Conditions have also shifted sharply in terms of speed and supply. Homes at the end of 2025 sometimes sold in a single day with about 6.1 months of supply on the market, but by mid-2026 typical time to sell stretched to around 171 days, highlighting a slower pace despite the area still being rated a strong seller’s market. With no recent sales closing above list price in the available data, both buyers and sellers in Universal can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation.

This home means so much to our family, and we are incredibly grateful to have had someone we could trust walking alongside us through this season.”
