Sabanera Dorado continues to command stronger pricing in 2026, even as the number of closed sales has moderated from last year’s pace. The clearest trend is not simply that homes are becoming more expensive. Buyers are paying more for larger, updated and move-in-ready properties, while remaining selective when a home’s condition does not support its asking price.
Based on Stellar MLS sales reported through August 21, 2026, Sabanera’s median sale price increased 21.1% year over year. The median price per square foot rose 12.5%, and the median marketing period declined by more than three weeks.

Year-to-date comparison through August 21 of each year
The 2026 market at a glance
Higher values despite fewer closings
Sabanera recorded 17 sales through August 21, compared with 21 during the same period in 2025. Total sales volume declined 11.7%, but that change was driven primarily by fewer transactions rather than falling values. The average sale price increased to approximately $1.88 million, while the median reached $1.82 million.
The shift is also visible across price ranges. During the comparable period in 2025, 10 of 21 sales closed below $1.5 million. In 2026, only five of 17 sales fell below that level. Six homes sold between $2 million and $3 million, compared with only one during the same period last year.
What buyers and sellers should take from the data
Sabanera’s market is showing higher prices, stronger price-per-square-foot performance and shorter median marketing times. At the same time, fewer transactions and ambitious active-listing prices point to a selective market. Updated homes with strong features are moving into a higher tier. Properties requiring improvements still need to be positioned carefully against newer or renovated competition.
For buyers, the opportunity is in understanding which premiums are supported by the property and which are simply built into the asking price. For sellers, the strongest strategy is to price from the most comparable recent sales, then account carefully for model, lot, pool, generator, renovation quality and overall condition.
