Blanco County Market Heat Score: A Balanced View

What does a median days on market of 80 tell us about the current Blanco County real estate landscape? The answer lies in a composite Market Heat Score that blends speed of sale, price performance, and inventory levels. ALEX Intelligence calculated this score using four key indicators: median days on market, the ratio of final sale price to original list price, the share of homes selling below asking, and current months of inventory. For Blanco County, the data shows a median of 80 days on market across 49 closed sales in the rolling six-month window ending October 31, 2026. This represents a 21.6% decrease compared to the prior six-month period and a 7.0% drop from the same window last year. The price dynamics reveal a seller-leaning trend within a balanced context. The median close-to-original list ratio stands at 92.8%, up slightly from 92.2% in the prior period and 89.2% a year ago. Meanwhile, 89.8% of homes sold below their original list price, a figure that has shifted by 7.2 percentage points since the previous six months but remains lower than the 92.9% seen last year. Inventory levels provide the final piece of the puzzle. With 86 active listings and 49 closed sales over the last six months, the market holds 10.53 months of inventory. This volume places the county in a balanced classification, neither a strict buyer's nor seller's market. The composite score reflects this equilibrium: prices are rising significantly year-over-year by 22.2%, yet the extended time on market and high inventory suggest buyers still retain leverage to negotiate.
