Brazos County Market Heat Score: A Balanced View

What does a median price of $394,182 across 33 closed sales tell us about the current market in Brazos County? The answer lies in how quickly homes move and how much inventory sits on the shelves. ALEX Intelligence calculated a Market Heat Score by weighing four key indicators: days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reductions. This composite index ranges from 0 to 100, where higher numbers indicate faster-moving, competitive conditions. For Brazos County, the score reflects a balanced environment rather than a frenzy or a slump. Homes are spending a median of 22 days on market, a significant improvement from the 66 days seen in the prior six-month period. However, with 5 months of inventory available today, the supply side remains robust enough to prevent bidding wars. The median close-to-original list ratio stands at 98.2%, suggesting buyers are negotiating effectively but not forcing sellers to drop prices drastically. While the median price per square foot rose 2.9% compared to the prior period, the overall market pace is steady. This balance means neither buyers nor sellers hold a dominant advantage; it is a market where time and price are the primary factors in closing a deal. The data reflects ABOR-listed sales only, covering single-family homes with prices net of seller-paid concessions. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
