Is the Rough Hollow market tipping toward buyers or sellers? With 3.7 months of inventory based on 44 closed sales over the last six months, the answer is balanced. This figure comes from dividing the 27 active listings currently on the market by the average monthly closings of roughly 7.4 homes.
Months of inventory measures how long it would take to sell all current listings at the current pace of sales. A reading below 4 months typically indicates a seller's market, while above 6 months suggests a buyer's market. Rough Hollow sits right in the middle, signaling a neutral environment where neither side holds a decisive advantage.
This balance follows a significant shift in speed. The median days on market dropped to 46 days compared to 51 days in the prior six-month period and just 92 days a year ago. Homes are selling faster now, yet the inventory level remains steady enough that buyers still have choices.
ALEX Intelligence calculates this classification by comparing current active supply against recent sales velocity. While median close prices rose 15.9% from the prior period, the market has not tightened enough to become a strict seller's market. Buyers and sellers alike should expect negotiations to remain competitive but fair.
