Market figures by town

In Milam County, every single home sale in the last six months was financed. The data shows zero cash purchases among the 83 closed transactions recorded between April and September 2026. This means 100% of buyers relied on mortgage financing to close their deals during this period. The absence of cash sales is notable given the median home price of $245,000 across the county. While some markets see a mix of all-cash investors and financed buyers, Milam County's activity was entirely driven by borrowers securing loans. The sample size for cash transactions is zero, so no trend can be calculated for this specific metric. This financing pattern suggests that local buyers are primarily dependent on traditional mortgage products rather than liquid assets to enter the market. The median contract-to-close time could not be determined due to a lack of pending data in the current window, but the reliance on financing remains the defining characteristic of recent sales activity. ALEX Intelligence estimates that the share of cash purchases is 0% based on the 83 closed sales observed in this rolling six-month window. This figure reflects the actual transaction types recorded and does not imply a lack of potential buyers with cash, but rather the composition of completed deals during this specific timeframe.
