Harker Heights Market Heat Score: A Balanced Signal

Is Harker Heights heating up or cooling down? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score offers a single number to answer that by weighing four key indicators: days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reductions. For the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the composite score for Harker Heights is 52 out of 100. This score reflects a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a decisive advantage. The calculation weighs median days on market at 37 days against a benchmark of 40 days, noting an 8.8% increase compared to the same period last year. It also factors in the median close-to-original list ratio of 97.9%, which is slightly higher than the prior period but still below the 100% parity seen a year ago. Inventory pressure remains moderate with 3.66 months of supply, calculated from 25 active listings against 41 closed sales over the last six months. Additionally, the share of homes selling below original list price rose to 71.8%, up 57.8% from the prior year, indicating that price negotiations are more common now than in previous cycles. ALEX Intelligence combines these metrics into a composite index where scores near 50 suggest equilibrium. While the median sale price held steady at $320,000 compared to last year, the shift toward longer marketing times and deeper discounts signals a market that is cooling slightly from its peak intensity. This data-driven assessment helps buyers and sellers gauge realistic expectations without relying on speculation. Want these numbers for your street? Email [email protected].
