Market figures by town

Can buyers in Williamson County still rely on financing to close a deal? The answer for October 2026 is that the data does not show how many of the 664 homes sold were paid with cash versus a mortgage. The Unlock MLS report for this month lists closed sales, median prices, and days on market, but it does not include the financing type field required to calculate the share of cash buyers. Without this specific data point, we cannot determine if cash purchases are rising or falling compared to the prior month or last year. ALEX Intelligence tracks financing trends by extracting the payment method at closing for every sale. When that field is populated, we can show the percentage of all-cash deals and how that share shifts with interest rates. For October 2026, the financing breakdown is missing from the source file, so no trend line or percentage can be reported. Buyers and sellers should note that while price and inventory metrics are available, the composition of buyers by payment method remains unreported for this specific month. The page will update with cash-versus-financed data as soon as the monthly report includes those figures. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
