Comal County Market Heat Score: A Cooling Trend in August

What does a market heat score of 42 mean for buyers and sellers in Comal County? This composite index, calculated from days on market, list-to-sale ratios, inventory levels, and price reductions, indicates a shift toward a more balanced or slightly buyer-favorable environment compared to the previous month. The ALEX Intelligence model combines four key metrics to generate this score out of 100. In August, the median days on market fell to 56 days, down 21.1% from July, while the share of homes selling below original list price rose to 84%. Simultaneously, months of inventory climbed to nearly 7 months, suggesting supply is outpacing demand. The median sale price settled at $407,245, a 14.3% decrease from July, though it remained roughly flat compared to August 2025 with a 0.6% increase year-over-year. With 38 closed sales recorded this month, the data reflects a market where buyers have more leverage. Homes are spending less time on the market than in July, yet sellers are accepting lower offers more frequently as inventory accumulates. The heat score of 42 signals that while activity remains steady, the urgency seen in hotter months has dissipated. This assessment is based on current market conditions and does not predict future price movements. The ALEX Intelligence estimate provides a snapshot of relative market temperature rather than an appraisal of individual property value. Want more detail on Comal County?
