Milam County: Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-06
Milam County currently sits at 6.48 months of inventory based on 87 closed sales over the trailing six months. This figure is calculated by dividing the current active listings by the average monthly closings. A market with fewer than six months typically favors sellers, while more than six months generally indicates a buyer's advantage.
With 94 active homes available and 87 total closings in the window, the supply is slightly above the threshold often used to define a balanced market. This suggests buyers have more options than in a tight seller's market, though competition remains for well-priced properties. The median days on market has dropped to 82 days compared to 95 days in the prior six-month period, indicating sales are moving slightly faster even as inventory holds steady.
The median sale price of $245,000 is down 3.9% from the previous six months and 2.0% lower than the same window last year. This price adjustment, combined with the elevated inventory level, creates a negotiating environment where buyers can expect to find homes without immediate pressure to bid above asking. The market is not yet in a deep buyer's territory but has shifted away from seller dominance.
ALEX Intelligence classifies this as a balanced market leaning slightly toward buyers due to the inventory-to-sales ratio exceeding the six-month benchmark.
