Market figures by town

How does the Sweetwater market feel right now? ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score of 52 out of 100 for the area, indicating a balanced environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold a distinct advantage. This score synthesizes four key indicators: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, homes in Sweetwater spent a median of 36 days on the market, up 12.5% from the prior period but down 25% compared to the same window last year. The median sale price reached $686,914, reflecting an 8.7% increase over the previous six months, while homes sold at 95.6% of their original list price. Current inventory stands at 38 active listings, creating a 4.38-month supply of homes based on the recent sales pace. The score reflects a market that has cooled slightly from last year's faster pace but remains active. With 52 closed sales and a median price per square foot of $259, Sweetwater continues to show resilience despite higher interest rates. The composite index weighs these factors equally to provide a single metric for market temperature, helping buyers and sellers gauge the current competitive landscape without relying on subjective impressions.
