Crosswinds Market Heat Score: A Balanced View

Is the Crosswinds market cooling down? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score for this master-planned community sits at 42 out of 100 based on a composite index weighing days on market, sale-to-list ratios, inventory levels, and price reductions. This score reflects a shift toward a more balanced environment compared to the tighter conditions seen in previous years. The analysis draws from 44 closed sales over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026. Median days on market have stretched to 96 days, up 7.9% from the same window last year and 4.3% higher than the prior six-month period. Simultaneously, the median close-to-original list ratio stands at 0.918, indicating that homes are selling for slightly less than their original asking prices compared to the 0.924 ratio recorded a year ago. Inventory pressure is evident with 61 active listings currently on the market, resulting in 8.13 months of supply. This level of inventory suggests buyers have more selection and negotiating leverage. While the median price per square foot rose slightly to $179, the overall median close price dipped 6.3% year-over-year to $351,294. The heat score calculation combines these factors to provide a single metric representing current market dynamics without predicting future direction. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data for the week of October 22, 2026. This rate environment influences buyer purchasing power and contributes to the extended time homes spend on the market before closing. The score serves as a snapshot of current conditions rather than a forecast of where prices or activity will move next. Want to see this home?
