Del Valle October Market Recap: Sales Up, Prices Down

Del Valle saw more activity but lower prices in October as the market adjusted to current conditions. Nineteen homes closed at a median price of $299,990, representing an 11.8% increase in sales volume compared to last year, though the median price dropped 7.0% from September and fell 11.2% from October 2025. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the month's rollup to show how buyers and sellers are responding to a 5.3-month supply of inventory. The market remains balanced, with homes spending an average of 66 days on the market, down 12% from September. While 84.2% of closed sales sold below their original list price, the gap between list and sale prices narrowed slightly compared to last year. New construction continues to drive volume, accounting for 11 of the 19 closings. The median home size shrank to 1,654 square feet, down 6.5% from September. With 37 new listings added in October and 94 active homes currently available, supply is stabilizing after a period of tighter inventory. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.24%, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of October 29, 2026. For a median-priced home, a standard 3-2-1 buydown would cost approximately $11,148 in total fees, reducing the initial monthly payment by $457 in the first year. The data reflects a market where buyers have more negotiating power than earlier this year, yet demand remains steady enough to keep sales volumes rising compared to the same time last year.
