October 2026: listings across the Yankton area.

Realtor.com's monthly series, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis through FRED, reports the following for Yankton, SD (CBSA). These are area-wide listing measures, not Yankton city sold-home statistics. The series were updated November 5, 2026.

A listing price is an asking price, not a completed sale price. The listing days-on-market series measures time from listing until closing, pending or removal, depending on available data. Do not compare its 93 days directly with Redfin's city sold-home measure or interpret it as a promised selling time for your property.

Three-month city snapshot; checked November 6, 2026

Redfin's city trends panel reports a $269,250 median sale price and 21 median days on market for the three months ending August 2026. Its separate competition panel discusses time to pending; that is a different measure and should not be substituted for the median days on market above.

The sale-price median describes the homes that sold. Zillow's Home Value Index models typical home values across a broader housing stock. Neither is a list price or a property-specific appraisal. A change in the mix of homes sold can move a small city's median without every home changing by the same amount.

What should sellers do with these figures?

Use the city snapshot to frame a conversation, then request recent comparable sales and current competing listings for your home type, location and condition. Review price reductions, concessions and pending activity before choosing an asking price. A citywide median does not establish what a specific home will sell for or how long it will take.

What should buyers compare?

Compare the asking price with similar recent sales, then budget for the actual condition, financing and ownership costs. Treat lake access, acreage, private utilities and townhome association obligations as property-specific questions. A city statistic is not a shortcut for those checks.

Why do other websites show different numbers?

Check whether the source measures Yankton city, Yankton County, ZIP 57078 or a broader metro area. Then check the month, property types, and whether it reports asking prices, completed sales or modeled values. Do not average those measures together or treat time to pending as interchangeable with days on market.

Is this a full-year 2026 market review?

No. The year is still in progress, and these sources report earlier periods. A full-year review needs complete year-end data. Older articles in The Maloney Report remain dated reading; use this page's reporting periods and the linked sources when comparing figures.
