Is Spring a buyer's market or a seller's market?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
By months of inventory, Spring is a seller's market right now: 4.3 months of supply, with 1,562 homes for sale against 2,258 sales in the last six months. Demand still outpaces supply; sharp pricing and presentation win quickly. Conditions differ by price band and area, so use this as context, not a rule.
Where the numbers put the market
Months of inventory divides the homes now for sale by the recent monthly pace of sales. In Spring that gives 4.3 months, which we label a seller's market. Demand still outpaces supply; sharp pricing and presentation win quickly. On months of inventory, Spring is with less supply than most (ranked 30 of 39 communities with enough sales to compare).
What a market label does and does not tell you
A market label is a summary. A seller's market can still contain a busy price band and a slow one, and a good home priced well can sell quickly in any market. Right now 43% of active homes have had a price cut, which shows how much room sellers have used. Numbers like these describe the whole of Spring, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.

Common follow-up questions
What months of inventory counts as balanced?
Many analysts treat roughly four to six months of supply as balanced, with less favoring sellers and more favoring buyers.
Does the label apply to every home?
No. It is an area-wide summary; a specific price band or subdivision can behave differently.
