Belton New Listings vs. Closings: The Supply Gap

In the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, Belton saw exactly 87 new listings enter the market alongside 87 closed sales. This one-to-one balance between fresh supply and completed transactions defines the current state of the local housing inventory. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the dual-axis trend of new listings versus closings to determine if a surplus or shortage exists. The data shows that while 87 homes were added to the active pool, an equal number of 87 properties successfully closed escrow. This equilibrium suggests that the rate at which sellers are listing matches the pace at which buyers are purchasing. Despite this balance in volume, the median price for these 87 closed sales was $327,425, down 7.7% from the prior six-month period. The market absorbed new inventory without a backlog, yet prices softened as 77% of homes sold below their original list price. With 57 active listings currently on the market, the supply gap remains narrow, indicating a stable environment where new listings are immediately matched by closings. The sample size for this analysis includes 87 closed sales and 87 new listings over the six-month window. This data reflects ABOR-listed sales only within Belton. Want a closer look?
