Is the market shifting back to buyers? In September 2026, Comal County recorded 7.04 months of inventory based on 24 closed sales and 250 active listings. This figure represents the time required to sell all current homes at the current sales pace, a standard gauge for market balance. A market is generally considered balanced with six months of inventory. Anything above that threshold typically favors buyers, while below six favors sellers. With 7.04 months available, Comal County currently sits in buyer territory. This shift coincides with a median sale price of $497,000, which rose 22% from the prior month but remains 13% higher than the same period last year. The pace of sales also slowed compared to previous months. Median days on market increased to 70 days, up 25% from August and 16.7% from September 2025. Additionally, only 89.7% of the original list price was achieved on average, down from 93.4% in the prior month. These indicators suggest that while prices remain elevated, the supply side has grown enough to give buyers more leverage and time to negotiate. ALEX Intelligence calculates this inventory level by dividing the total active listings by the monthly sales rate derived from the trailing 12-month data. The result confirms a market where demand is currently outpaced by available supply. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
