La Cima: New Listings Outpace Closings in Rolling Six Months

La Cima is currently experiencing a supply gap where new listings are outpacing closings. Over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026, 69 new homes entered the market while only 43 properties successfully closed. This imbalance suggests that inventory is accumulating faster than it is being absorbed by buyers. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the supply and demand dynamics to determine the current market balance. The data shows a distinct divergence between the volume of new supply and the rate of sales. While 69 homes were listed, the number of closed transactions remained at 43. This gap indicates that the market is not currently clearing inventory as quickly as it is being added. The median days on market for these closings was 71 days, a figure that has decreased by 27.6% compared to the prior six-month period. Despite this improvement in speed, the volume of new listings continues to exceed the closing rate. The median close price rose to $482,110, up 20.3% from the previous period, even as the number of sales dipped slightly from 45 to 43. For buyers and sellers, this supply gap implies a shift in leverage. With more homes coming on the market than are selling, competition among sellers may increase, potentially leading to longer listing times or price adjustments. The data reflects a market where new inventory is entering faster than it can be absorbed by current demand. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
