What does a market heat score indicate for buyers and sellers in Taylor? This composite index blends four key indicators to gauge whether the local market is leaning toward buyers or sellers. ALEX Intelligence calculated this score using weighted factors: 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, Taylor recorded 117 closed sales with a median price of $299,900. Homes spent an average of 47 days on market, which is 6% longer than the prior period but 23.7% longer than the same window last year. The median sale-to-list ratio improved to 95.8%, up from 91.8% previously, indicating sellers are recovering some pricing power compared to early in the cycle.
Inventory remains a key factor, with 6.2 months of supply currently available. This level suggests a balanced market rather than a distinct buyer or seller advantage. Additionally, 76.1% of homes sold below their original list price, down from 86.9% in the prior period, signaling that aggressive pricing is becoming less common.
The resulting heat score reflects a market that has cooled slightly from last year but shows signs of stabilization. While prices have dipped 4.8% compared to the same period last year, the faster pace of sales relative to inventory and improved closing ratios suggest underlying demand remains steady. This data-driven view helps buyers and sellers set realistic expectations without relying on speculation.
