Bastrop is the one town of the four that reads balanced, and Smithville, La Grange and Paige each read as a buyer’s market, each for that town overall, since a price point changes which market a home is in. Paige has the most months of inventory and the fewest sales of the four, so its reading is thin. Table 4 has the rest.

No Smithville price range had 10 or more sales in the last three months, so the usual range table has nothing to show and I read the ranges from the past twelve months instead. Each reading below is for that price range only, on the twelve-month basis, and it comes from what homes there closed at against original asking; months of supply is the supporting number.

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. Seven-plus months sounds bad and for the average listing it is.
In Smithville that figure is 8.9 months, against 6.0 for the Austin metro, and the supply reading agrees with the 93.2% of original asking that buyers paid.
