Guadalupe County: Is It a Buyer's Market?

Is Guadalupe County a buyer's or seller's market? The answer lies in the months of inventory gauge, which classifies market conditions based on the ratio of active listings to monthly closings. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, there were 86 closed sales and 106 active listings today. This results in 7.4 months of inventory. A level above six months typically indicates a buyer's market, where supply outpaces demand and buyers have more negotiating power. This classification aligns with other data points. The median days on market was 58 days, down slightly from the prior period but still allowing time for decisions. Additionally, 74.4% of homes sold below their original list price, suggesting that sellers are often accepting less than asking. ALEX Intelligence applies this inventory classification to help buyers and sellers understand the current balance. With 7.4 months available, the market favors those looking to purchase over those trying to sell quickly at full price. The data reflects a shift from the same period last year, when sales were higher but prices were lower. Today's median close price of $318,875 is up 10.3% from the prior year, yet the inventory level remains elevated enough to keep conditions favorable for buyers. Want to see this home?
