Maxwell New Listings vs. Closings: The Supply Gap

How many new homes hit the market compared to how many actually sold in Maxwell over the last half-year? The data shows a clear supply gap where new listings outpaced closings. In the rolling six-month period ending October 31, 2026, 216 new listings were added while 110 closed sales occurred. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the dual-axis trend of supply and demand events to quantify this gap. The ratio of new listings to closings stands at roughly two to one, indicating that for every home sold, approximately two were newly listed. This dynamic has kept active inventory levels elevated despite a 41.8% drop in median days on market compared to the prior six-month period. The median close price remained stable at $224,926 across 110 sales, even as the average home size grew by 3.6% to 1,647 square feet. While the number of closings was lower than the same window last year (138 sales), the influx of new supply prevented a shortage. Buyers currently face a wider selection, with 5.67 months of inventory available today, suggesting a balanced market where price competition is present but not acute. This supply gap highlights a shift in local momentum. Sellers are bringing homes to market faster than buyers can close deals, yet the pace of sales has accelerated significantly compared to the prior period. The result is a market with more choices for buyers and a steady flow of new inventory that keeps prices from surging despite lower interest rates. Want to see this home?
