Del Valle Market Recap: Sales Hold Steady While Prices Dip

Del Valle saw 112 closed sales over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, matching the volume of the same period a year earlier. Despite steady transaction activity, the median closing price settled at $315,495, representing a 4.7% decline compared to the prior year and a 2.8% drop from the previous six-month window. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the full dataset to highlight that while prices softened, homes are selling closer to their original list prices. The median close-to-original list ratio rose to 0.968, up from 0.959 in the prior period and 0.962 a year ago. Fewer sellers accepted offers below asking price, with only 73.2% of sales closing under the original list compared to 81.1% previously. Market dynamics shifted as homes took longer to sell. The median days on market increased to 65 days, up 22.6% from last year and 4.8% higher than the prior six-month period. This extended timeline coincides with a slight contraction in average home size; the median living area dropped to 1,738 square feet, down 7.7% from the previous window. New construction remains a significant driver of activity, accounting for 55 of the 112 closed sales. The market continues to show resilience with 96 active listings currently on the market, suggesting a balanced environment where buyers have options but sellers are not forced to slash prices aggressively.
