Killeen October Market Pulse: Sales Drop, Prices Rise

Killeen's housing market showed a distinct split in October as median prices climbed while transaction volume fell sharply. Across 19 closed sales, the median home price reached $263,975, up 1.5% from September and 1.5% higher than the same month last year. This price increase occurred even as the number of homes sold dropped 53.7% compared to September and rose 11.8% compared to October 2025. The time it took to sell a home also shifted significantly. The median days on market stretched to 56 days, an 86.7% increase from the prior month's 30 days, though this remains slightly faster than the 57 days recorded in October 2025. Sellers saw improved negotiation outcomes as well; the median close-to-original list ratio held steady at 100%, while the share of homes selling below original list price fell to 31.6%, down from 43.9% in September and significantly lower than the 76.5% seen a year ago. New construction remained a key driver, accounting for 10 of the 19 closed sales. The median living area for sold homes was 1,612 square feet, slightly larger than the prior month but smaller than the 1,812 square feet typical in October 2025. With 167 active listings and a 5.27-month supply of inventory, the market remains balanced as buyers and sellers navigate shifting conditions. Want to see this home?
