Sonterra Market Heat Score: A Balanced View for October

How does the Sonterra market feel right now? A composite heat score indicates a balanced environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold a dominant advantage. This index combines four key metrics: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. Over the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, homes in Sonterra spent a median of 69 days on the market, up 40.8% from the same period last year when sales moved faster at 49 days. The median close-to-original list ratio stands at 92.8%, indicating that while sellers are still receiving most of their asking price, the gap has widened slightly compared to the previous six months. Inventory remains steady with 4.27 months of supply on hand, a level typically associated with balanced conditions rather than a buyer's or seller's market. ALEX Intelligence calculated this score by weighting these factors equally to provide a single snapshot of local momentum. The data shows that while prices have dipped slightly compared to last year, the pace of sales has slowed significantly, giving buyers more time to evaluate options without the intense pressure seen in 2025. With 123 closed sales analyzed, this score reflects a market that is cooling from its peak but remains active for those ready to transact. Want these numbers for your street? Email [email protected].
