Rockdale Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Signals

What does a market heat score actually measure? ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite index from 0 to 100 by weighing four key indicators: median days on market, the close-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the share of listings with price cuts. This method translates raw activity into a single gauge of how fast homes move and at what price relative to asking. In Rockdale, the data shows a distinct shift toward faster movement. The median home sold in 59 days over the last six months, down 48.7% from the prior period and 46.4% from the same window last year. This speed is paired with stronger pricing power; the median close-to-original list ratio rose to 0.922, up 1.9% from the previous six months and 0.8% higher than a year ago. Inventory remains a balancing factor with 5.66 months of supply on hand. While this suggests a transition rather than a frenzy, the combination of reduced time on market and improved price realization indicates rising momentum. The median sale price reached $227,580, up 5.2% from the prior six-month period. The resulting heat score reflects these dynamics: homes are selling faster and closer to their original list prices compared to recent history. This analysis is based on 53 closed sales of single-family homes, with prices net of seller-paid concessions. The data confirms that buyer demand is currently outpacing the rate at which new supply enters the market in this area. Want to see this home?
