Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Newton real estate market, updated for September 2025. *
The typical home value in Newton is projected to be $138,500 for the month of September. August’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $170,000—up 0.29% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $182,500 in Jasper County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $156,340 in September.
Newton had 28 new listings and 14 listings that went under contract in August, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 78—up 16.42% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in September.
Of those 78 active listings, 32.05% reduced their price in the month of August. The median listing price for homes in Newton fell 1.86% from July to August, bringing the current median listing price to $195,750. Based on projected data for September, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In August 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 37 days, compared to 58 days in August 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this September.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
