When does Killeen see the most activity? ALEX Intelligence analyzed 24 months of closed sales to identify seasonal patterns for single-family homes in the city. The data reveals a distinct rhythm where late summer and early fall typically slow down before a winter rebound. In October 2026, just 23 homes closed at a median price of $255,477. This volume was significantly lower than the previous month's 41 closings, continuing a trend where activity dips as the school year begins in earnest. However, prices remained resilient, rising 1.9% from September and holding steady against last October's levels despite the lower transaction count. Looking back at the full two-year window, May consistently emerges as the peak month for volume, with 43 closings recorded in June 2025 and 49 in March 2025. Conversely, January and February often see the lowest activity, with prices dipping slightly during these colder months. The median days on market also fluctuates seasonally, averaging 52 days in October compared to just 30 days in September, suggesting buyers take longer to decide as inventory builds up. For sellers, the data suggests that while May and June offer the highest volume of buyers, October can still be a viable time to list if the goal is a stable price rather than a rush of offers. The market shows a clear preference for spring listings, but the fall months maintain steady demand without the intense competition of early summer. ALEX Intelligence seasonal decomposition identifies these recurring trends based on historical transaction data to guide timing decisions. Want to see this home?
