Comal County: New Listings Outpace Closings in September

Comal County saw a distinct shift in supply dynamics this month as new listings outpaced closings for the second consecutive period. In September 2026, 49 homes hit the market while only 24 sales closed, creating a noticeable gap between fresh inventory and completed transactions. This divergence marks a change from August, when 43 new listings met 38 closings, suggesting that buyer activity is not currently absorbing the full volume of new supply entering the county. The data reflects a broader trend where the number of homes available for sale is growing faster than the rate at which they are being sold. With 24 closed sales recorded against 49 new listings, the market is accumulating inventory faster than it is depleting. This pattern often precedes a shift in pricing power or a longer time on market for sellers, as the ratio of active supply to demand adjusts. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the dual-axis trend of new listings versus closings to highlight this supply gap. The sample size for closed sales stands at 24 observations, while the new listing count is based on 49 events recorded in September. This divergence indicates that buyers have more choices than they did a month ago, potentially slowing the pace of price appreciation or increasing negotiation leverage for purchasers. The market remains partially covered by ABOR data, meaning these figures represent only the listed sales within that specific MLS system and not the entire local market volume. The current supply gap suggests a transition toward a more balanced environment compared to the tighter conditions seen earlier in the year. Want to see this home?
