Why do I watch months of supply in Copperfield?
Chris’s position, Watters International Realty positions library, approved September 9, 2026.
Months of supply is the number I watch. It means: if no more homes came on the market, how long would it take to sell everything listed at the pace homes are selling now.
In 78753 it is 7.0 months on the last three months’ pace, well above the metro’s 5.9. With that many homes for sale, a buyer can afford to wait for the one that is priced right.
