How many deals that started with a contract failed to reach the closing table in Comal County this month? The Back-on-Market Rate tracks contracts that fell through after being signed but before closing. While specific failure counts are not provided in the current dataset, the sharp drop in sales closing below original list prices suggests shifting dynamics for buyers and sellers. In September 2026, only 19.6% fewer homes sold for less than their original asking price compared to the same month last year. This shift coincides with a 25% increase in median days on market, indicating that properties are staying listed longer before finalizing. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the contract-to-close cycle using available data points to highlight where deals may be stalling. The median close-to-original list ratio dropped to 0.897, down 4% from the prior period and 5% from last year. This suggests that while fewer homes are selling below list price, those that do face longer negotiation periods or fall out of contract before closing. The market is showing signs of increased caution among buyers, with more time spent evaluating properties before committing to a final sale. For sellers, this means listing prices must be realistic from the start to avoid deals falling through later in the process. Buyers should expect longer timelines and potentially more competitive negotiations as contracts face higher scrutiny. The data underscores the importance of understanding contract terms and market conditions before signing. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want a closer look?
