Killeen Market Heat Score: What the Data Shows in October

What does a median of 56 days on market mean for buyers and sellers in Killeen right now? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score synthesizes four key indicators—days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reductions—to quantify local momentum. For October 2026, the composite score reflects a market that has cooled slightly compared to the prior month but remains active relative to historical norms. The score relies on current metrics: median days on market rose 86.7% from the prior period to 56 days, while the share of homes selling below original list price dropped 28.0% to 31.6%. Inventory stands at 5.3 months, suggesting a balanced environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold overwhelming leverage. Median close prices rose 1.5% month-over-month to $263,975, with price per square foot climbing 15.3% year-over-year. This composite index aggregates these signals into a single gauge. A score in this range indicates that while homes are taking longer to sell than in the immediate past, the pace of price cuts has slowed significantly, and prices continue to hold firm against last year's levels. The data reflects 19 closed sales in October, providing a snapshot of current market dynamics without projecting future direction. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want a closer look?
