Kissing Tree Market Heat Score: A Deep Dive into October 2026

How does a community with 143 median days on market compare to its neighbors? ALEX Intelligence calculated a Market Heat Score for Kissing Tree by combining four key metrics: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the share of listings with price cuts. This composite index ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate faster-moving markets. In the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, Kissing Tree recorded 42 closed sales with a median price of $467,500. The market shows signs of cooling relative to last year, with median days on market rising 88.2% to 143 days, while the median sale-to-list ratio held at 89%. Inventory sits at 8.57 months, suggesting a distinct buyer's environment where homes take longer to sell and price reductions are common, affecting over 95% of closed transactions. The ALEX Intelligence model assigns weights to these factors: 40% for speed of sale (DOM), 30% for price retention (close-to-list ratio), 20% for inventory tightness, and 10% for price reduction frequency. Based on the current data, the resulting Heat Score indicates a market that is currently favoring buyers, with ample choice and reduced urgency compared to the same period last year when homes sold in just 76 days. While the median price rose 2.1% from the prior six-month period, the extended time on market signals that sellers must be realistic about pricing to move inventory. This score provides a snapshot of current momentum rather than a prediction of future direction. The data reflects the reality of a balanced-to-buyer market where patience is as valuable as price negotiation. Want to see this home? Call or text George at 713.918.9951 for a private showing.
