Belterra Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Power in September

How fast is the Belterra market moving today? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score for this master-planned community in Dripping Springs stands at 85 out of 100, reflecting a period where homes are selling quickly and prices remain resilient. This composite index weighs four key factors: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, Belterra recorded 60 closed sales with a median price of $680,000. The speed of transactions is a defining characteristic; the median days on market dropped to just 14 days, down 39% from the prior six-month period and 48% lower than the same window last year. This rapid turnover indicates strong buyer demand relative to available supply. Price performance remains robust despite higher interest rates. The median close-to-original list ratio reached 0.98, meaning homes sold for an average of 98% of their original asking price. Only 65% of sales closed below the original list price, a significant improvement over the prior period where that figure stood at 74%. With only 16 active listings and 1.57 months of inventory, the market remains tightly balanced in favor of sellers. The ALEX Intelligence model assigns weights to these metrics to generate a single heat score. In Belterra, the combination of low inventory, fast sales velocity, and high price retention drives the score well above the regional average. This data suggests that for sellers, listing now capitalizes on active demand, while buyers face a competitive environment requiring decisive action. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal.
