Comal County Inventory Signals a Shift to Buyers

Is the balance of power shifting in Comal County? With 6.74 months of inventory available today, the market is transitioning from a seller-favored environment toward a balanced or buyer-leaning one. This figure represents the number of months it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing the 238 active homes by the monthly closing rate derived from the trailing twelve-month data. In October 2026, 30 single-family homes closed with a median price of $505,216, up 7.0% from the same month last year. Despite this price increase, properties are selling faster than they were a year ago, with the median days on market dropping to 50 days, a 35.9% improvement over October 2025. The share of homes selling below their original list price has also decreased slightly compared to last year, suggesting that while inventory is higher, well-priced homes still command strong attention. ALEX Intelligence classifies this market condition based on the months of inventory metric. Generally, less than 4 months indicates a seller's market, 4 to 6 months is balanced, and anything above 6 months favors buyers. At 6.74 months, Comal County has crossed the threshold into buyer territory, giving purchasers more negotiating leverage and selection time. This shift comes as new listings remain steady at 49 for the month, while closed sales increased 15.4% from September. The data reflects a market where supply is finally catching up to demand, allowing buyers to find homes without the intense competition seen in previous months. While prices continue to trend upward, the extended time on market and higher inventory levels suggest that patience may now be a viable strategy for those looking to purchase in Comal County.
