Harker Heights: Months of Inventory Signal a Balanced Market

How many months of homes are available for sale in Harker Heights right now? The answer is 5.25 months, a figure that defines the current market balance. This metric compares the 28 active listings on the market today against the pace of 32 closed sales over the rolling six-month window ending October 31, 2026. A market with fewer than four months of inventory typically favors sellers, while more than six months usually favors buyers. At 5.25 months, Harker Heights sits in a balanced zone where neither side holds a distinct advantage. This equilibrium follows a period where median closed prices dropped 10.2% compared to the prior six-month period, settling at $305,000 across 32 sales. The pace of sales has also shifted. Homes are now selling in a median of 36 days, which is 21.7% faster than the previous six months but still slightly slower than the same window last year. Meanwhile, the share of homes selling below their original list price rose to 71.9%, indicating that negotiation room has become more common for buyers. ALEX Intelligence calculates this inventory gauge by dividing current active listings by the average monthly sales rate derived from the trailing six months. This approach provides a stable view of supply and demand without relying on volatile single-month data points. For Harker Heights, the data suggests a steady market where prices have adjusted to match buyer expectations. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
