Milam County Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Signals

Milam County is showing a distinct split between speed and price. The median days on market dropped to 64 days from 102 days in the prior six-month window, a 37.3% improvement in how quickly homes move. However, the median close price of $245,000 is down 4.3% compared to the same period last year, and 1.5% lower than the previous six months. ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score for this region using four weighted factors: days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reduction frequency. The score reflects a transition where homes are selling faster but at lower prices. With 6.57 months of inventory available today, the market remains balanced rather than favoring sellers or buyers exclusively. The median close-to-original list ratio sits at 0.923, indicating that most homes sell for slightly less than their original asking price. This ratio has improved by 1.3% compared to the prior period but remains 0.2% below last year's levels. The data suggests that while buyer urgency is returning, pricing discipline is still adjusting to current demand conditions. The market heat score integrates these competing signals to provide a single metric of local activity intensity. In Milam County, the speed of sales is outpacing price growth, creating a unique dynamic for both buyers and sellers in this rolling six-month analysis. Want a closer look?
