Why Are Prices Stable in Brushy Creek?
Tight supply has kept prices from sliding. Active listings fell about 5% from last year, and at 3.4 months of supply, Brushy Creek has one of the tighter markets in the area. New listings rose 8%, but pending sales dropped about 18%, signaling that buyer interest may be cooling. The low inventory has propped up prices for now, though the pullback in pending sales could put pressure on the market if it continues.
