How much time does a buyer actually have to find the right home? In Horseshoe Bay, the answer is plenty. The market currently holds 11.05 months of inventory based on 186 active listings and 101 closed sales over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026. This figure represents the time it would take to sell all current homes at the current sales pace if no new listings were added.
Generally, a market with more than six months of inventory is classified as a buyer's market. With over 11 months available, buyers in Horseshoe Bay have substantial leverage compared to the balanced threshold. This abundance of supply has coincided with a median close price of $785,000 across 101 sales, which is down slightly from the same period last year but up 12.9% from the prior six-month window.
The extended time on market supports this classification. Homes spent a median of 77 days on the market, a significant decrease of 40.8% compared to the prior period, yet still well above the typical seller's market pace. Additionally, 92.1% of homes sold below their original list price, indicating that negotiation power has shifted toward purchasers.
ALEX Intelligence analyzes this inventory-to-sales ratio to determine market conditions. When months of inventory exceed six, the balance tips decisively in favor of buyers, allowing for more time and potentially better prices than in tighter markets.
