What does months of supply tell a 78724 seller?
Chris’s position, 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.
For 78724 that is 7.7 months at the recent pace, more than the metro. The homes that sold still did well, which tells me buyers here are choosy and pay up only for the right house.
