October 2026 Hochatown Cabin Sales Report: What Actually Sold?

Forty-three Hochatown and Broken Bow-area cabins in my sales data closed during October 2026. Looking at the year built, bedroom and bathroom count, and sold price per square foot gives us a clearer picture of what buyers are actually choosing.

The answer is not completely random, but there is no single cabin type that guarantees a sale. October’s closings show two particularly active segments: smaller one-bedroom cabins and larger four-bedroom cabins.

October’s Overall Numbers

Across the 43 October sales:

• The median sold price was approximately $356 per square foot.
• The average was approximately $363 per square foot.
• Sales ranged from approximately $221 to $501 per square foot.
• Thirty of the 43 cabins, or about 70%, were built in 2021 or later.

That wide price range is important. Price per square foot is useful, but it cannot account for every difference between cabins. Location, acreage, views, road access, construction quality, furnishings, rental performance, amenities and overall condition can all materially affect value.

The Most Common Cabin Types Sold

One-bedroom/one-bath and four-bedroom/four-bath cabins tied as October’s most frequently sold layouts, with nine sales each.

Cabin type	October sales	Median price per SF	Observed range
1 bedroom/1 bath	9	$427	$379–$501
2 bedroom/2 bath	5	$359	$221–$501
3 bedroom/3 bath	3	$348	$316–$360
4 bedroom/4 bath	9	$339	$252–$454
6 bedroom/6 bath	4	$337	$233–$456

Other bedroom and bathroom combinations also sold, but the number of sales in each individual configuration was too small to treat as a dependable pricing benchmark.

One-Bedroom Cabins Continued to Command a Premium

October’s nine one-bedroom/one-bath sales had a median price of approximately $427 per square foot. Seven of the nine sold between approximately $407 and $501 per square foot.

That supports what we have been seeing throughout 2026: a well-positioned one-bedroom cabin can command a higher price per square foot than a larger cabin.

These cabins may appeal to couples looking for a personal retreat, as well as buyers seeking a smaller and potentially more manageable short-term rental. However, a higher price per square foot does not necessarily mean a higher total sale price or better investment return.

Four-Bedroom Cabins Were Equally Active

Four-bedroom cabins accounted for 13 of the 43 October sales when all bathroom configurations are included. Nine were four-bedroom/four-bath cabins.

The four-bedroom/four-bath sales had a median price of approximately $339 per square foot. Most of those sales clustered in the low-to-mid $300s per square foot, although the complete range was much wider.

This suggests that four-bedroom cabins remain an important part of the market, but pricing discipline matters. Owners should not assume that a larger or newer cabin automatically supports a price above $400 per square foot.

Newer Cabins Captured Most of the Sales

Thirty of October’s 43 recorded sales were cabins built in 2021 or later.

Those newer cabins had:

• A median price of approximately $381 per square foot.
• An average price of approximately $384 per square foot.

The 13 cabins built before 2021 had:

• A median price of approximately $292 per square foot.
• An average price of approximately $314 per square foot.

This does not mean age alone created the entire difference. The newer and older groups contain different sizes, layouts, locations and amenities. However, the results show that buyers generally paid more per square foot for newer construction.

An older cabin can still sell, but its price and presentation need to recognize the competition from newer properties.

What October’s Sales Appear to Show

October’s closings point to several useful conclusions:

1. One-bedroom cabins remain capable of producing some of the market’s highest prices per square foot.
2. Four-bedroom cabins are selling in meaningful numbers, but their typical price per square foot is lower than the one-bedroom segment.
3. Cabins built in 2021 or later represented approximately 70% of October’s recorded sales.
4. The low-to-mid $300s per square foot remains an important range for many three-bedroom and larger cabins.
5. Buyers will purchase older cabins, but price, condition and distinctive features become increasingly important.

These are patterns from closed sales, not a guarantee that every similar cabin will sell. We would also need to compare the number sold against the number available in each category to measure which type is selling fastest.

What This Means for Hochatown Cabin Owners

If you own a newer one-bedroom cabin, the October sales support investigating a value in the low-to-mid $400s per square foot, depending on its location, condition, amenities and rental history.

For many three-bedroom and larger cabins, the low-to-mid $300s per square foot may be a more realistic starting point. Exceptional properties can sell above that range, but the property needs to give buyers a reason to pay the premium.

Owners of older cabins should be particularly careful about comparing their property to newer construction. An older cabin may still compete well if it has a strong location, useful layout, acreage, privacy, attractive outdoor space or proven rental performance. It generally cannot rely on the market to overlook age and condition.

Is Your Cabin Positioned for Today’s Market?

A cabin’s likely selling price cannot be determined from price per square foot alone. I review its age, layout, location, acreage, amenities, condition, rental performance, recent comparable sales and current competition before recommending a price.
