🍂 Southeast Texas Real Estate Market Update | Fall 2026 🏡
As we head into the fall market, many people are asking me:
“Is now a good time to buy or sell?”
The answer is… yes—but strategy matters more than ever.
📈 For Sellers:
• Well-priced, move-in ready homes are still attracting buyers.
• Buyers have more choices than they did a few years ago, so presentation and pricing are critical.
• Homes that are priced too aggressively are sitting longer and often require price reductions.
🏠 For Buyers:
• Inventory has improved, giving you more homes to choose from and more negotiating power.
• You’re more likely to negotiate repairs, closing costs, or other concessions than during the highly competitive markets of recent years.
• While mortgage rates remain higher than many would like, remember—you can refinance a rate later, but you can’t go back and buy today’s home at yesterday’s price.
📍Here in Southeast Texas, we’re continuing to see a steady market. Beaumont home prices remain higher than last year overall, while homes are generally taking a bit longer to sell than they did during the peak market. Across Texas, buyers are benefiting from increased inventory, making this one of the most balanced markets we’ve seen in several years. (Redfin)
Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or simply wondering what your home is worth, I’d be happy to help you understand what today’s market means for your situation.
