Keller Clears Homes In 39 Days. Aledo Takes 65.

Over the twelve weeks ending August 23, 2026, a ranking of median days to pending across the territory's five zip markets shows sizable gaps between the fastest and slowest markets inside one buy box.

Homes in this territory are not moving at one speed. They are moving at five.

Look at Keller. Over the twelve weeks ending August 23, 2026, the median home there went under contract in just 39 days, the fastest pace anywhere in the territory. Inventory backs that up: Keller is sitting at about 2.6 months of supply, the tightest of the five markets. Fast decisions, thin shelves.

Dallas comes next. Its median days to pending ran about 46 days this period, the second-quickest mark in the territory.

Garland sits in the middle of the pack, with a median of 51 days to pending.

Azle trails a bit further, at roughly 55 days.

And then there's Aledo. The median home there took 65 days to go pending, the slowest of any market in the territory this period.

Line those up and the gap between the fastest and the slowest market is wide enough that it is not noise in a small sample. A buyer or seller weighing two of these markets against each other is not comparing similar timelines. They're comparing different ones.

Except speed alone does not tell the whole story, and Dallas is where that becomes obvious. Despite posting the second-fastest median days to pending in the territory, Dallas also carries the highest months of supply of any market here, at 5.8 months. That is not a contradiction so much as two different clocks running at once. Median days to pending measures how long a typical listing takes to attract an accepted offer. Months of supply measures something else: how long the entire stock of homes currently for sale would take to sell off at the pace homes are actually closing. A market can clear individual listings quickly and still be sitting on more total inventory than it's absorbing.

Dallas also carries the highest median list price in the territory, at $1,375,000, well above every other market here. Whatever is behind the gap between quick pendings and a deep supply pool, it is not showing up as a shortage of demand for the listings that do move. It shows up as a bigger shelf that isn't emptying at the same rate.

What that means depends on where you sit. If you're listing in Keller, the tight supply and the 39-day pace both point the same direction: expect interest to show up fast, and expect less room to sit on a decision once it does. If you're searching in Aledo, the 65-day median buys you more time to compare properties before someone else beats you to an offer, even though that patience shouldn't be mistaken for a market with nothing else going on. And if you're on either side of a Dallas transaction, the two numbers argue with each other: don't assume the fast pendings mean the broader inventory picture is tight too, because right now it isn't.

The open question worth watching is whether Dallas's supply narrows to match its quick pendings as the season plays out, or whether that gap between a fast individual sale and a slow-clearing overall pool holds. That would tell you something the pending-speed number alone can't: whether Dallas is a market where good listings move fast inside a genuinely deep pool of choices, or one where the pending number is temporarily flattering a market that has more catching up to do.

Either way, the broader lesson holds across all five markets this period: a single "how fast is the market" number hides real differences depending on which measure you're looking at, and which of these five markets you're actually standing in.
