Sunset Oaks: New Listings Outpace Closings in Rolling Six Months

New supply is outpacing demand in Sunset Oaks over the last six months. A total of 63 new listings entered the market while only 40 homes successfully closed, creating a visible gap between incoming inventory and completed transactions. This divergence defines the current balance of power for buyers and sellers in this Hays County community. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the dual-axis supply and demand trends to quantify this shift. The ratio of new listings to closings stands at roughly 1.6 to 1, indicating that fresh inventory is arriving faster than it is being absorbed by the market. This dynamic often leads to increased competition among sellers as they vie for a limited pool of active buyers. The data also reveals a tightening market compared to the prior six-month period. Median days on market dropped by 20.8% to just 19 days, while the median close-to-original list ratio improved by 4.5%. These metrics suggest that despite the higher volume of new listings, homes are selling faster and closer to their asking prices than they did in the previous half-year window. The sample size for this analysis includes 40 closed sales and 63 new listings over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026. This volume provides a reliable view of current market velocity without relying on single-month fluctuations. The trend highlights a market where supply is growing, yet buyer urgency remains high enough to drive quick sales for well-priced properties. Want a closer look?
