monthly market update

Lavon's active listings fell 25.1% to 227, bringing months of supply to 4.2 from 4.7. The median held essentially flat at $352,495.

Closings declined 16.9%, so the tightening reflects reduced listing activity more than accelerating demand. New construction remains a meaningful share of local sales, and builder pricing influences the resale median here more than conditions in any neighboring city.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.2, compared with 4.7 in August 2025. That compares with 4.4 months for the DFW Metroplex and 5.4 months statewide. The inventory decline came from fewer homes being listed rather than from faster absorption, since closed sales also fell.

Lavon Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Lavon's inventory fell 25.1% year over year to 227 active listings, bringing months of supply to 4.2 from 4.7. Closings declined 16.9%, so the tightening reflects reduced listing activity more than accelerating demand. New listings at 78 continued to exceed the 54 monthly closings, which should keep supply building through the fall. The median held essentially flat while the sale-to-original-list ratio improved to 95.7%, suggesting sellers priced more realistically this year. Lavon's affordability relative to the $389,000 DFW median positions it to benefit if financing costs ease. Builder activity in the surrounding Community ISD area will continue to influence resale pricing more than conditions in any neighboring city.
