Del Valle Market Heat Score: What the Data Says

Is the Del Valle market cooling down? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score for this area reflects a shift toward balanced conditions after recent trends. This composite index weighs four key factors: days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price cuts. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, homes took a median of 65 days to sell, up 22.6% from the same period last year when they sold in 53 days. This slower pace is reflected in the market's pricing power; the median close-to-original list ratio stands at 96.8%, meaning buyers are negotiating closer to asking prices than before. Additionally, 73.2% of homes sold below their original list price, a figure that has improved slightly compared to last year but remains high. Inventory levels also play a role in this score. With 97 active listings and roughly 117 closed sales over the period, the market holds about 5 months of inventory. This supply level suggests neither a severe shortage nor a glut, contributing to the moderate heat score. While median prices have dipped 4.7% year-over-year to $315,495, the price per square foot has risen slightly, suggesting that smaller homes or specific features may still command strong value relative to their size. The ALEX Intelligence estimate reflects a market where buyers have gained leverage, but sellers are not facing a complete freeze. Activity remains steady with 112 closed sales, yet the extended time on market signals that patience is now a key strategy for both sides in Del Valle. Want a closer look?
