Round Rock Inventory Signals a Balanced Market in August

Is the market shifting for buyers in Round Rock? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which currently stands at 3.87 months based on 120 closed sales in August 2026. This figure is calculated by dividing the 662 active listings today by the monthly closing rate of 120 homes. A market with roughly six months of inventory is considered balanced, meaning supply and demand are relatively equal. Anything below four months typically favors sellers, while anything above six months favors buyers. At 3.87 months, Round Rock remains in a neutral zone where neither side holds a decisive advantage. This balance coincides with a median closing price of $390,000, which represents a 6% decrease from the prior month and a 6.7% drop compared to August 2025. The speed of sales has also stabilized, with homes spending a median of 30 days on the market, unchanged from July but significantly faster than the 36 days seen last year. While 71.7% of homes sold below their original list price, the ratio of final sale to original list price remains strong at 96.4%. ALEX Intelligence applies this inventory classification by comparing current active listings against trailing monthly closings to determine market conditions. For buyers and sellers in Round Rock, the data suggests a stable environment where negotiation power is shared, rather than heavily tilted toward one side. Looking to buy in Round Rock?
