Why does listing activity shift so dramatically across the year in Comal County? ALEX Intelligence analyzed 24 months of closed sales to identify seasonal patterns that help sellers time their market entry.
The data reveals a distinct cycle where late fall and early winter see reduced volume, while spring typically peaks. In November 2025, for example, only 21 homes closed, a 44.7% drop from the previous month, with median prices dipping slightly to $460,000. Conversely, March often brings higher activity; in March 2025, sales jumped 33.3% month-over-month as the market warmed, pushing median prices to $563,000.
This seasonal decomposition shows that while spring offers volume and price premiums, late fall requires patience. Sellers listing in November or December face fewer buyers but may encounter less competition from other listings. The pattern holds consistently across the two-year window, suggesting that timing a listing for the spring months can maximize exposure, whereas winter listings often require strategic pricing to attract the smaller pool of active buyers.
Understanding these cycles allows sellers to set realistic expectations based on historical performance rather than current market noise. Whether aiming for speed or price, aligning with the seasonal trend is a proven strategy in this region.

Coverage: most home sales in Comal County are listed in another MLS, which ALEX does not receive yet. The figures in this post count only sales listed in Unlock MLS (ABOR), so they describe part of the local market, not all of it.
