What These Numbers Mean

Strong Buyer Activity, but Growing Inventory
With 153 homes sold in April and 225 new listings entering the market, inventory is growing. This has resulted in a total of 1,039 active listings and an 8-month supply of inventory, signaling a shift toward a more balanced—or even slightly buyer-favored—market.

Home Prices Remain Stable
The average sales price of $384,841 reflects continued confidence in the local market. While prices remain strong, the increase in inventory may begin to moderate price growth in the coming months.

Homes Still Selling Close to Asking Price
A 98% list-to-close ratio indicates that sellers are still achieving near their asking price. However, this also suggests that accurate pricing is more important than ever, as buyers have more options to choose from.

Moderate Pace of Sales
With an average of 47 days on market, homes are taking a bit longer to sell compared to a fast-paced seller’s market. This gives buyers more time to evaluate properties and negotiate, while sellers may need to be more strategic with pricing and presentation.

 

What This Means for Buyers

Buyers are gaining more leverage in today’s market. With increased inventory and longer days on market, there are more opportunities to:

  • Compare options
  • Negotiate price or terms
  • Take time making decisions without intense competition

What This Means for Sellers

While homes are still selling at strong prices, the market is becoming more competitive. Sellers should focus on:

  • Pricing the home correctly from the start
  • Ensuring the property is well-presented
  • Being open to negotiations

Homes that are priced too high or not properly prepared may sit longer on the market.

Final Thoughts

April 2026 reflects a transitioning market in Southern Brazoria County. While still healthy, conditions are shifting toward balance, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers who approach the market strategically.
