a balanced market
What this actually means
6.49 months of inventory is a balanced market. Neither side has the upper hand. Well-priced homes still move; overpriced ones sit. In Jul 2026, 164 homes closed in New Braunfels — +19.7% versus the same month last year — at a median price of $326,000 (+1.9% year over year). Year to date the median sits at $320,000.
If you’re buying: with 884 homes on the market, you have choices and time to inspect properly. Ask for closing-cost help — sellers and builders are granting it again.
If you’re selling: pricing is everything at this inventory level. Homes priced to the recent comps sell; homes priced to last year’s headlines sit and then cut. I’ll show you the comps before we set a number.
