Taylor Market Heat Score: What the Data Shows

Is Taylor currently a buyer's or seller's market? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score answers this by combining four key metrics into a single index from 0 to 100. This score weighs median days on market, the list-to-sale price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, Taylor recorded 117 closed sales with a median price of $299,900. The composite score for this period reflects a median days on market of 47 days, which is up 23.7% compared to the same window last year when homes sold in 38 days. A longer time on market typically signals reduced urgency among buyers. The price dynamics also reflect this cooling trend. The median close-to-original list ratio stands at 0.958, meaning homes sold for 95.8% of their original asking price. While this is an improvement over the prior six-month period where the ratio was 0.918, it remains below the 0.938 seen a year ago. Additionally, 76.1% of sales closed below the original list price, down from 86.9% in the previous window, indicating that while fewer homes are selling under ask, the market has not yet returned to the aggressive bidding wars of prior years. Inventory levels currently sit at 6.2 months of supply. In a balanced market, this figure typically hovers around six months; anything above suggests a shift toward buyer leverage. The ALEX Intelligence model assigns weights to these factors to generate the final score, providing a data-driven snapshot of current market conditions without predicting future price movements. The resulting heat score places Taylor in a transitional phase, leaning slightly toward a buyer's environment as inventory builds and selling times extend. This metric is an estimate based on historical patterns and current MLS activity, not a forecast of future prices. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
