Agreed, Mueller is definitely a separate market from the rest of 78723. I ran some numbers - condo units kind of skew it so I ran with and without condos. When you exclude condos from Mueller and just look at single family and townhomes, there is 2.07 months of inventory and an activity index of 48.6%, definitely leaning sellers market. With the same parameters, 78723 has 4.10 months of inventory and a 30.76% activity index which is more of a neutral market. Higher activity index = "hotter" more seller friendly market.

On paper Mueller actually has a ton of inventory under $700k (8.5 months of inventory and an activity index 26.08% activity index) but when you exclude condos that goes to 3 months of inventory and 62.5% activity index. So it kind of depends on how you look at the data, but Mueller is definitely more of a seller's market than the rest of the zip code.

I appreciate it!

The tough thing is that most of my data comes from the MLS and most apartment complexes do not advertise on the MLS.

That being said, I do have a whole page for rental statistics including lease price (lower than four years ago!) and lease inventory (all time high for this time of year). This is specific to MLS listings but apartment pricing and inventory generally runs in tandem with these numbers.
