Liberty Hill

Liberty Hill's housing market is leaning toward buyers, having moved back toward the middle from where it sat last month. The composite score is -1.25 now, up from -1.9 last month. Worth noting: only 11 homes closed in July, so treat the month-to-month movement here as a useful signal, not a precise one.

About 36% of homes that closed in July went for asking price or more, and the typical sold home spent around five weeks on the market — quicker than a lot of the surrounding area. A little over 60% of what's currently listed has had at least one price cut. There's about seven months of supply on hand at July's pace, though with such a small number of closings that figure moves easily.

The median sold price held essentially flat month over month and is down about 6% from a year ago. Small sample aside, the underlying signals — a decent at-or-above-asking rate, quicker time on market — point to a market that's leaning toward buyers without being extreme.

There's real leverage here, with over 60% of active listings already showing a price cut. Homes are moving relatively quickly once priced right, around five weeks on average, so be ready to act when you find the right one, even while you negotiate.

Homes here are actually selling faster than a lot of nearby markets, so a well-priced listing won't necessarily sit — but with just over a third of homes closing at or above asking, come in with a realistic number rather than testing the top of the range.
