Keller prices stayed steady while more homes came to market

Real estate, Keller

The one fact that changes what a Keller seller should do right now: more homes are competing for the same buyers. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 163 homes for sale in ZIP 76248 during the three months ending July 31, 2026, up 8.7% from the same period a year before. More supply means buyers have options. That makes your list price the first decision, not an afterthought.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 76248 at $652,500 for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is down 1.1% from the same stretch in 2025. A small dip, not a slide. Still, it tells you the market is not absorbing extra inventory without giving something back on price.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes in September 2026. Realtor.com also reported that price cuts hit 20.8% of listings in September, the highest share since October 2022. Keller's 1.1% price slip fits that wider pattern, even if it is smaller than what many markets saw.

Homes are still selling, just a little slower

The Real Estate Data Aggregator says the median home in ZIP 76248 sat on the market 26 days during the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is 2 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not a dramatic shift, but buyers are taking a little more time. Sellers should plan for that.

Pending sales were up 6% year over year, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That tells you demand is still there. The Real Estate Data Aggregator also counted 180 closed sales in the period, up 0.6% from a year before. The market is moving. It is just doing it on a slightly longer clock.

Sellers are still getting close to asking price

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale-to-list ratio at 98.8% for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is down 0.6 points from a year before, but it still means most sellers got very close to what they asked. Price it right and that holds. Price it high and you are in a different story.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator says 25% of Keller homes sold above list price in the period, up 0.4 points from a year before. One in four homes still drew enough competition to close over asking. That does not happen by accident. It happens when a home is priced to attract, not to anchor.

What the national picture adds

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Keller's 1.1% dip is smaller than that spread suggests, but it is real. Mortgage rates are part of the story. Realtor.com reported rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That slows buyers down everywhere, including Keller.

One more thing worth knowing: these numbers cover all of ZIP 76248. One street, one subdivision, one price range can read very differently from the ZIP code as a whole. If you want to know what the numbers look like for your specific block or price point, text me your address.
