How many months of homes are available for sale in Kissing Tree right now? The answer is 8.43 months of inventory based on the pace of sales over the last six months. This figure tells us whether buyers or sellers hold the advantage in this San Marcos neighborhood.
ALEX Intelligence classifies market conditions by dividing current active listings by the average monthly closed sales. A reading below four months typically indicates a seller's market, while anything above six months signals a buyer's market. With 8.43 months of inventory available today, Kissing Tree is currently in buyer territory. This means buyers have more choices and less pressure to compete on price or terms compared to tighter markets.
The data covers the rolling six-month period ending October 31, 2026, with 42 closed sales recorded during that window. While median prices rose slightly by 2.1% compared to the prior six months, the high inventory level suggests buyers can negotiate more effectively. Homes are taking longer to sell as well, with median days on market at 143 days, which is significantly higher than the same period last year.
For sellers, this environment requires realistic pricing and patience. For buyers, it offers a wider selection of properties without the urgency seen in seller-favored markets. The classification remains consistent: when inventory exceeds six months, the balance shifts decisively toward the buyer.
