Llano County Market Heat Score: A Deep Dive into October Activity

How does a county with median home prices exceeding $822,000 compare to its neighbors when measuring market velocity? Llano County currently registers a composite heat score based on four key metrics: days on market, list-to-sale price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. The calculation weighs median days on market at 70 days, which is significantly higher than the regional average of 45 days, indicating a slower pace of transactions. The list-to-sale ratio stands at 91.6%, suggesting buyers are negotiating below original asking prices in 88.5% of cases. Inventory remains elevated with 309 active listings, creating a months-of-supply figure of 12.04, which leans heavily toward buyer conditions. Additionally, the high volume of price cuts relative to sales further dampens the heat score. ALEX Intelligence applied a weighted scoring model to these four variables to generate this composite index. A score near zero indicates a very slow market with high inventory and low demand, while a score near 100 signals a rapid seller's market. In Llano County, the combination of extended selling times and aggressive price reductions keeps the overall heat in the lower half of the scale despite strong year-over-year price appreciation of 34.2%. This data-driven assessment highlights that while prices are rising, the speed at which homes move has not kept pace with the broader region. Buyers currently face a market where patience is rewarded, as sellers wait an average of 70 days to close a deal. The current environment favors those who can navigate the negotiation process rather than those rushing to secure a property immediately. Want these numbers for your street? Email [email protected].
