Lariat Market Heat Score: Speed and Price Signals

How fast are homes selling in Lariat compared to last year? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score combines speed, price performance, and inventory levels into a single gauge from 0 to 100. In the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, the score reflects a market where properties moved significantly faster than in the prior period. The median days on market dropped to 64 days across 121 closed sales, down 31.9% from the prior six-month window and 19.0% lower than the same period last year. This acceleration signals stronger demand relative to supply. Simultaneously, the median close-to-original list ratio improved to 0.922, up 3.4% from the prior period, indicating buyers are offering closer to asking prices than before. Inventory remains a key factor in this score. With 95 active listings and 123 closed sales over six months, the market holds 4.63 months of inventory. While still above the tightest seller's market levels, the combination of faster sales and improved price realization pushes the heat metric higher than earlier in the year. The median sale price settled at $460,350, a modest 2.3% increase year-over-year despite a slight dip from the prior period. ALEX Intelligence calculated this composite index using equal weights for days on market, sale-to-list ratio, and inventory months to reflect current local conditions. The result shows a market gaining momentum, with buyers acting more decisively and sellers seeing quicker results than in the previous six-month window. Want these numbers for your street?
