Taylor Market Balance: 5.95 Months of Inventory

Is the Taylor housing market currently favoring buyers or sellers? With 5.95 months of inventory on hand as of late October 2026, the answer is a balanced market. This figure represents the time it would take to sell all current active listings at the current sales pace, calculated by dividing the 123 homes currently for sale by the average monthly closings of roughly 21 units over the trailing six-month period. ALEX Intelligence analyzes this inventory metric alongside closed sales data to determine market conditions. A reading below four months typically signals a seller's market where demand outstrips supply, while anything above six months usually favors buyers. Taylor sits squarely in the middle, suggesting neither side holds a distinct advantage at this moment. The underlying data supports this equilibrium. Over the rolling six months ending October 31, 2026, there were 124 closed sales with a median price of $298,500. This represents a slight 0.2% decrease in median price compared to the prior six-month period and a 3.7% drop from the same window last year. Meanwhile, homes took a median of 50 days to sell, which is up 28.2% from the same period twelve months ago but only slightly higher than the previous six months. While inventory levels are stable, price dynamics show some softness compared to last year. The median price per square foot rose 4.2% from the prior period to $174, yet remains 0.6% below last year's levels. With 5.95 months of supply, buyers have more options than in a seller's market, but sellers still retain leverage as inventory has not flooded the zone. https://alex.realestate/market-data/taylor Want to see this home?
