Buttercup Creek Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Power Return

How fast is the Buttercup Creek market moving today? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score for this Cedar Park community has climbed significantly, driven by a dramatic acceleration in sales speed and stronger price performance over the last six months. This composite index weighs four key factors: days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reductions. In the rolling six-month window ending September 30, 2026, homes sold in just 16 days on average, a 71.9% drop from the prior six-month period where they lingered for 57 days. This rapid turnover signals intense buyer demand relative to current supply. Price negotiation power has also shifted significantly. The median close-to-original list ratio rose to 97.7%, up 5.1% from the previous period, while the share of homes selling below original list price fell sharply by 27.9%. Only 67.4% of sales closed under list price compared to 93.5% previously, indicating that sellers are retaining more leverage. With just 2.74 months of inventory available, the market remains lean. Although prices have stabilized with a median close of $515,000, the speed at which properties are moving defines the current heat. This score reflects a transition from a slow, discounted market to one where well-priced homes command full value and move quickly. Want these numbers for your street? Email [email protected].
