How fast is a home selling in Kissing Tree today compared to last year? The answer reveals a significant shift in market momentum. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the median days on market climbed to 126 days, a 96.9% increase from the same period last year when homes sold in just 64 days.
ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score for Kissing Tree by weighting four key indicators: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. The resulting score reflects a transition from a rapid seller's market to a more balanced or buyer-favorable environment. While the median sale price held steady at $451,750, up 3.9% year-over-year, the speed of transactions has slowed considerably.
The data shows that 96.3% of homes sold below their original list price, a figure that rose 4.9% compared to the prior six-month period. This suggests increased negotiation leverage for buyers. With 60 active listings and 54 closed sales over the last half-year, the market is absorbing inventory at a slower pace than in previous years. The composite score indicates that while demand remains present, the urgency that characterized the local market previously has diminished.
This analysis relies on 54 closed sales within the Kissing Tree subdivision, providing a statistically robust view of current conditions. The shift in velocity is the primary driver of the updated heat assessment for this community.
