Coastal Bend Market Update Report 👇
🌊 Port Aransas
What This Means for Sellers:
Still benefiting from price growth but should be mindful of longer timelines and negotiation fatigue. ( drawn-out negotiations ) Homes are taking longer to sell so pricing strategically from the start is key.
What this means for Buyers:
Greater leverage especially in the high-end market. Great opportunity to negotiate closing costs, furniture packages and other concessions.

Padre Island
What this means for Sellers:
While prices are higher than last year, the surge in inventory and long average market times mean buyers have more options and negotiating power. Homes are taking over three months to sell on average, so realistic pricing and strong presentation are key. Overpricing will likely result in extended days on market and price reductions.
What this means for Buyers:
Buyers are in a strong position, especially in the $300K–$750K range where most inventory sits. With over 17 months of supply, there’s less pressure to rush and more opportunity to negotiate on price, closing costs, and extras. The market’s slower pace gives you time to compare options and choose the right property for your needs.
