ShadowGlen Inventory Signals a Balanced Market

Is the ShadowGlen market shifting from a seller's advantage to a balance of power? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which currently stands at 4.77 months based on 31 active listings and 39 closed sales over the rolling six-month period ending September 30, 2026. This figure places ShadowGlen squarely in balanced market territory. A market is generally considered a seller's market when inventory falls below four months, indicating high demand relative to supply. Conversely, a buyer's market typically emerges when inventory exceeds six months, giving purchasers more leverage. At 4.77 months, the current supply suggests neither side holds a decisive advantage. The data supports this equilibrium with mixed signals. While the median days on market has dropped significantly by 34.9% compared to the prior six-month period, falling from 43 days to 28 days, the inventory level remains steady. This indicates that homes are selling faster than before, yet new listings are entering the market at a pace that maintains the current stock levels. The median close price for the period is $399,000 across 36 closed sales, matching the same window from the previous year despite a 16.2% increase over the prior six months. This stability in pricing alongside the inventory count confirms that the market is neither overheating nor cooling off rapidly. Buyers and sellers alike should expect a steady pace of transactions rather than the bidding wars or prolonged stagnation seen in extreme market conditions. ALEX Intelligence calculates this classification by dividing the current active inventory by the average monthly sales rate derived from the trailing six-month data. This method provides a standardized gauge for market dynamics regardless of seasonal fluctuations. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
