Bryson Market Heat Score: A Cooling Trend in September

How does a 93% increase in time on market reshape the Bryson real estate landscape? ALEX Intelligence calculated a composite Market Heat Score for Bryson using four key indicators: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and price reduction frequency. The resulting score reflects a distinct shift from a seller-favorable environment to a more balanced or buyer-leaning one over the trailing 12 months ending September 30, 2026. The data reveals significant cooling. Median days on market rose to 58 days, up 93% compared to the prior period and the same window last year. Simultaneously, the median close-to-original list ratio held steady at 95%, but 86.5% of homes sold below their original asking price, a notable increase from 80%. Inventory has also shifted, with 23 active listings representing 6.57 months of supply based on recent sales velocity. While the median closed price remains at $499,500, the market dynamics have changed. The combination of longer listing times and higher rates of price reductions suggests buyers now have more leverage to negotiate. This heat score, derived from a weighted analysis of these specific metrics, indicates that Bryson is currently experiencing a period of increased time on market and reduced pricing pressure compared to previous cycles. The current 30-year fixed mortgage rate stands at 7.32%, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of October 22, 2026. This rate environment continues to influence buyer behavior, contributing to the observed shifts in market velocity and pricing dynamics within this specific community. Want to see this home?
