Kyle held 4.9 months of inventory in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, and the Austin metro figure for the same period is 5.6 months, which argues for going to market this fall. Waiting is a wager on a better price later, and the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 closed at a median $318,690 against $332,040 in the twelve months before. One factor cuts against a newer house: the resales among those 369 sales reached contract in a median 42 days at 96.3% of original asking, while new builds took 69 days at 93.7%.
Kyle carries a seller’s market label at 4.9 months of inventory for the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, a reading that covers the town as a whole, and the number on a single house decides which market it is really in. Holding out for a better price has little behind it here: 371 of the 598 homes for sale on September 21, 2026 already stand below what they first asked, and the twelve-month median sale price reads $318,690 against $332,040 the year before. One address turns on its own number and on whether the work inside it is finished.

Last updated September 21, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of September 21, 2026.
The pace and the pricing answer different questions here. 369 homes closed here in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 at a median $307,000, half of them under contract inside 57 days, and those sellers collected 94.7% of what they first asked. The 598 homes for sale on September 21, 2026 come to 4.9 months of inventory, meaning how long it would take to clear every listing at the current pace with nothing new arriving. WIR reads anything under 5.5 months as a seller’s market; that reading covers Kyle as a whole, and the number on a single house decides which market it is really in.
The same 90 days of 2025, June 23 through September 20, closed 389 homes at a median $324,000, against 369 at $307,000 this year, down 5.2% on the median and down 5.1% on the count.
Two measurements carry that case. Among the 369 homes that closed in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, 107 reached contract within 30 days, and 57 of them, 15.4%, closed at or above the price they opened with. Behind those closings sat another 32 Kyle listings active under contract and 123 pending on September 21, 2026, houses with buyers already attached.
441 new listings arrived in Kyle over the same 90 days, so a seller going up this fall prices against a board that keeps refilling. 129 of the closings needed more than 90 days to reach contract, and what set them apart from the 107 that went inside a month is the subject of why aren’t homes selling in Kyle?
Two periods measured the same way point down. Kyle’s twelve months ending September 20, 2026 closed 1,394 homes at a median $318,690; the twelve months before that closed 1,569 at $332,040, down 4.0%, with price per square foot running $166 against $179, down 7.1%. WIR measures periods and does not predict them, so those are two readings taken alike.
The sellers already listed have run into the same math. 371 of the 598 listings stood below their original asking price on September 21, 2026, 62.0% of the board against 57.3% across the Austin metro. Twelve more months of holding passes the gap between the $329,550 asked and the $307,000 paid along to the next seller in line. What one Kyle house is worth beside a brand-new one is on what is your Kyle home worth next to a brand-new house?
It shows in the speed and in what buyers handed over. 220 of the 369 Kyle sales in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 were new builds, 59.6% of the closings, going at a median $330,000 and $169 per square foot after a median 69 days, at 93.7% of original asking. The 149 resales among the same closings went at a median $285,900 and $160 per square foot in a median 42 days, at 96.3% of original asking. A resale that shows finished belongs with the faster half of that record.
Builders hold 278 of the 598 Kyle listings, 46.5% of what is for sale, under 22 builder names at an asking median of $340,494 and $181 per square foot, 175 of them already below their opening price. Lennar carries 82 of those listings and D.R. Horton 30. Which builder stands in which community is on what is your Kyle home competing against right now?
Further from the town figure than most sellers expect. Between $250,000 and $299,999, Kyle sold 89 homes in a median 49 days with 118 for sale, 4.0 months; the band from $300,000 to $349,999 sold 75 against 147 listings at 5.9 months. The first reads as a seller’s market and the second as balanced over the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, each label covering that price range across all of Kyle, and the number on a single house decides which market it is really in.
Push above $450,000 and the reading turns. $450,000 to $499,999 sold 15 homes against 33 listings at 6.6 months, a buyer’s market for that range across Kyle in the same 90 days, and the number on a single house decides which market it is really in. The bands above it closed fewer than ten homes apiece in 90 days, so the figure worth quoting is the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, where $500,000 to $549,999 reads 8.7 months and $650,000 and above reads 17.5 months, buyer’s markets for those ranges town-wide on that twelve-month basis, and the same caution holds for any one address. The whole grid sits on the 78640 housing market report, with the town-level reading on the Kyle, TX real estate market report.
What your house would ask, and whether it can be shown finished, settle this; in Kyle the reasons to list outnumber the reasons to hold. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
What will not hold a seller up is the hope of a better price. Kyle’s twelve-month median sale price came in at $318,690 against $332,040 the twelve months before, its price per square foot at $166 against $179, and 371 of the 598 homes on the market September 21, 2026 had already dropped below their opening price.
Everything above describes 598 listings and 369 sales across one town. A sale is one address at one asking price, seen early by whoever is shopping that number this month, several of whom can walk a finished 2025 build in Waterstone or Crosswinds the same afternoon. So the useful question is small: at the price my house would ask, what else is standing on my side of Kyle, and does going up this fall beat holding into next year?
