Blackhawk Market Heat Score: A Balanced Signal in October

Is Blackhawk heating up or cooling down? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score synthesizes four key indicators—days on market, sale-to-list ratio, inventory levels, and price reductions—to answer this for the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026. The composite score indicates a balanced market environment. While median days on market dropped significantly by 47.7% compared to the prior six-month period, falling from 88 days to 46 days, the market has not swung into a seller's frenzy. This speed is accompanied by a median close-to-original list ratio of 96.1%, which improved by 3.2% over the prior period but remains below the 100% mark where sellers typically receive full asking price. Inventory levels further define this balance, with 6.73 months of supply currently available. This figure sits squarely in the neutral zone, suggesting neither a shortage driving rapid price spikes nor a surplus forcing steep discounts. Indeed, 85.1% of homes sold below their original list price, a share that has only marginally decreased by 0.1% from the prior period. Prices remain resilient despite this balance. The median closed price rose to $544,995, marking a 2.2% increase compared to the same window last year. This stability suggests that while buyers have more time to decide than in previous months, demand for well-priced homes in Blackhawk remains steady. The ALEX Intelligence estimate of this heat score reflects a market where negotiation is possible but value retention is strong. Want to see this home?
