Sun City Texas: Is It a Buyer's Market in October?

Is the Sun City Texas housing market shifting back to sellers? With only 2.05 months of inventory available in October, the answer is yes. This figure represents the time it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing active homes by the monthly closing rate. Generally, anything under three months indicates a seller's market where demand outstrips supply. In October 2026, 56 homes closed with a median price of $350,000, up 2.9% from the previous month but down 9.1% compared to last year. The average home sold in just 35 days, a significant improvement over the 53 days seen previously, though still slightly higher than the 31 days recorded a year ago. These metrics suggest that while prices have softened from their peak, the pace of sales remains brisk for available inventory. ALEX Intelligence classifies this market condition based on the months of inventory ratio. A reading of 2.05 months signals that buyers face competition, as homes are moving faster than new listings can replenish the stock. This dynamic often leads to multiple offers and quicker decisions, even as median prices adjust downward from previous highs. The data reflects a market where supply constraints are keeping momentum high. With only 114 active listings against a steady flow of closings, sellers retain leverage. Buyers looking in this 55+ community should expect to act quickly if they find a property that meets their needs, as the window for negotiation may be narrower than in a balanced market. https://alex.realestate Want to see this home?
