How fast is Comal County selling compared to the rest of the region? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score aggregates four key indicators—median days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reduction frequency—to produce a single gauge of local momentum. In October 2026, the composite score reflects a shifting balance as properties move faster while prices stabilize.
The median home sold for $474,900 across 33 closed sales, down 4.4% from September but up 0.5% from last year. Days on market dropped significantly to 63 days, a 16% improvement over the prior month and 10% faster than October 2025. This acceleration suggests buyers are acting more decisively despite higher borrowing costs.
The share of homes selling below original list price fell slightly to 78.8%, while the median close-to-original list ratio improved to 94.5%. With 6.53 months of inventory on hand, the market remains in a balanced state, neither heavily favoring buyers nor sellers. The ALEX Intelligence estimate indicates that while demand is picking up, supply constraints are keeping price growth modest.
Current mortgage rates stand at 7.18% according to Freddie Mac data from the week of November 5, 2026. This rate environment continues to influence buyer behavior, with many transactions requiring strategic negotiation to close near list price. The heat score captures this dynamic interplay between speed and value in a market that is warming up but remains grounded.

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.
