Hutto New Listings vs. Closings: The Supply Gap in October

In October 2026, Hutto added 107 new listings while 89 homes closed, creating a net increase in available inventory. This dual-axis supply and demand trend shows that new supply outpaced closings for the second consecutive month, as new listings rose compared to the prior period while closings fell 8.2%. The gap between new supply and demand has shifted the market balance. With 107 new homes entering the market against 89 closed sales, the active inventory count grew, contributing to a months of inventory figure of roughly 4.0 based on trailing monthly closings. This indicates a gradual move away from the tight seller conditions seen in previous years. Comparing this month to October 2025, new listings jumped compared to last year while closed sales increased 43.5%. Despite the higher volume of transactions compared to last year, the rate of new supply entering the market has outpaced the absorption rate. The median home size also shrank slightly, dropping 3.6% from September to 1,897 square feet, suggesting a shift toward smaller inventory or different product mixes. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the monthly closed sales and listing activity to map this supply gap. The data shows that while buyer demand remains active with higher sales volumes year-over-year, the influx of new listings is currently expanding the pool of available homes faster than they are being purchased. This dynamic suggests buyers may find more options in the coming months as the market adjusts to the increased inventory flow. Want to see this home?
