Rockdale Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Gains in October

How fast is Rockdale selling compared to last year? The market has accelerated significantly, with the median days on market falling from 115 days in the prior six-month period to just 59 days today. This 48.7% drop signals a distinct shift toward faster turnover for sellers. ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score by weighing four key indicators: speed of sale, list-to-sale price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. The data shows that homes are selling more quickly and at higher relative prices. The median close-to-original-list ratio improved to 92.2%, up from 90.5% previously, while the share of sales closing below original list dropped by 5.4 percentage points. Inventory remains tight with 51 active listings against 53 closed sales over six months, creating a 5.77-month supply. This balance supports the observed price growth, where the median close price rose 5.2% to $227,580 compared to the prior period. While the region averages a 65-day market time and a 94% list-to-sale ratio, Rockdale's current velocity suggests a competitive environment for qualified buyers. The score reflects a market where demand is outpacing supply, driving both speed and price appreciation without the need for deep discounts. This trend holds across the single-family home segment, which now includes 10 new construction closings within the six-month window. Want a closer look?
