Is Kissing Tree currently a buyer's or seller's market? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which measures how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace. In the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, Kissing Tree recorded 8.7 months of inventory based on 36 closed sales and 61 active listings.
This figure places the market firmly in buyer territory. A balanced market typically requires between four and six months of supply; anything above six months generally favors buyers by increasing selection and negotiation leverage. The data shows that homes are taking longer to sell, with a median of 154 days on market compared to 177 days in the prior six-month period and just 81 days during the same window last year.
While prices have adjusted downward, with the median close price at $481,490 representing a 10% drop from the prior period, the elevated inventory levels remain the defining characteristic of this market phase. ALEX Intelligence classifies this environment as a buyer's market due to the supply exceeding demand for the first time in recent history.
Buyers entering Kissing Tree now face less competition and more time to evaluate options, while sellers may need to price competitively to move inventory within the current 8.7-month window.
