Lariat Market Heat Score: What the Data Says Today

Is the Lariat market cooling or holding steady? The ALEX Intelligence Market Heat Score for this master-planned community is a composite index weighing four key factors: median days on market, sale-to-list price ratio, inventory levels, and the frequency of price reductions. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, homes in Lariat spent a median of 70 days on the market. While this is down 28.6% from the prior six-month period, it remains significantly higher than the regional average of 58 days. The median sale price was $460,125, representing a 1.1% decrease from the previous half-year but still 4.2% below the same window last year. Buyers are currently negotiating closer to list prices than they were six months ago. The median close-to-original-list ratio reached 91.7%, an improvement of 4.6 percentage points compared to the prior period. However, 90.2% of closed sales still sold below their original asking price. With 5.36 months of inventory available today, the market leans toward a balanced state rather than a seller's frenzy. This score reflects a market that is stabilizing after a period of slower activity. The data indicates that while homes are selling faster than they were earlier this year, the pace has not yet returned to the speed seen in previous years. Buyers have more leverage now, but sellers who price correctly can still move properties within two months. ALEX Intelligence estimate, not an appraisal. Want a closer look?
