Driftwood Months of Inventory: Buyer's or Seller's Market?

Is the Driftwood real estate market currently favoring buyers or sellers? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which measures how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace. In Driftwood, this figure stands at 4.98 months based on 52 closed sales over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026. This level of inventory typically signals a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. A market is generally considered to be in buyer territory with fewer than six months of supply and seller territory with more than six months. Driftwood sits just under that threshold, suggesting a stable environment for transactions. The data shows 44 active listings currently on the market. While the median days on market has decreased by 53.2% compared to the prior six-month period, dropping from 77 days to 36 days, the inventory level remains steady enough to prevent a rapid price surge. This balance allows buyers time to evaluate options while sellers maintain realistic pricing expectations. ALEX Intelligence calculates this classification by dividing the current active inventory count by the average monthly sales volume derived from the trailing six months. The result places Driftwood in a neutral zone, distinct from the tighter markets seen in some neighboring areas or the surplus conditions of previous years. Buyers and sellers alike should expect negotiations to proceed at a measured pace rather than through bidding wars or forced discounts. Want a closer look?
