If you are selling a resale in Waterstone in Kyle, the builders set your price: 178 of the 181 Waterstone closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were new build. Waterstone’s median sale price over those twelve months was $290,090, your range decides whether your own price is argued above or below that figure, and the 55 of the 63 listings now asking less than they first asked mean a buyer is judging you against asking prices that have already come down.
The Waterstone record is short and one sided. Of the 181 closings, 178 were new build and 3 were resale, a thin sample. 167 of them were built in 2025 or later. Lennar holds 47 of the 63 active listings, Meritage Homes holds 11 and Meritage holds 1, so most of what a buyer sees beside your home is builder inventory.
Those 181 closings reached a median cumulative days on the market to contract of 47.0, which counts the days a home was listed before it went under contract and carries across relistings, so a relisted home does not restart at zero. Half of those closings took longer than 47.0 days. Sellers got 93.1% of their original asking price. The median home that sold measured 1,815 square feet and went for $151 per square foot. There are 63 active listings today, asking a median $290,999, and the median one has been listed 31.0 days so far. Waterstone holds 4.2 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis, which carries a seller’s market label for the subdivision overall. That label is for Waterstone as a whole, and a price point changes which market a home is in. So start with your own range rather than the label: work out the price your home would ask, find that range in the table below, read the closings behind it in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and the homes asking in it as of September 23, 2026, then read the branch written for that range at the foot of this page.
The middle of the Waterstone market was $290,090 across 181 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. That came at $151 per square foot on a median living area of 1,815 square feet. The 52 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 ran to a median of $254,500. That was $145 per square foot on 1,788 square feet.
The median year built was 2025 among the 181 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and 2025 among the 52 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, so the two medians describe houses of the same vintage at two price points.
The three periods sit side by side below, one measure to a row, with the prior twelve months in the middle column. The rows worth stopping on are median living area and price per square foot.
| Measure | Twelve months ending 2026-09-20 | Prior twelve months, 2024-09-21 to 2025-09-20 | 90 days ending 2026-09-20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closings | 181 | 229 | 52 |
| Median sale price | $290,090 | $302,990 | $254,500 |
| Median days to contract | 47.0 | 38.0 | 55.5 |
| Percentage of original asking price | 93.1% | 94.5% | 92.4% |
| Median living area | 1,815 sq ft | 1,815 sq ft | 1,788 sq ft |
| Price per square foot | $151 | $162 | $145 |
| Median year built | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 |
The median Waterstone house was 1,815 square feet in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025 and 1,815 square feet in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and that same house came at $162 per square foot in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025 and at $151 per square foot in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. The $151 figure is the one the 181 closings recorded, and that is the number an asking price has to be argued against.
Yes, and by a wide margin. 59 of the 63 homes for sale in Waterstone as of September 23, 2026 are builder listings. Among the 181 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 178 were new build against 3 resale, a thin sample.
Lennar holds 47 of those active listings, Meritage Homes holds 11 and Meritage holds 1. Those homes are priced by companies carrying inventory, so the 47 listings one of them holds can all be repriced on the same day.
The build years say the same thing from the other direction. Of the 181 closings, 167 were built in 2025 or later and 14 were built between 2015 and 2024.
The 167 closings built in 2025 or later are the comparable sales a buyer reaches for first. A Waterstone home of that vintage is shown on the same afternoon as a model home from the company that built it.
The record holds no Waterstone closing built before 2000, and none built between 2000 and 2014. A resale here is shown against houses of that same recent vintage, and 59 of the 63 homes for sale as of September 23, 2026 are builder listings.
The median Waterstone closing reached contract at 47.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, against 38.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025.
Across the 52 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 the median was 55.5 days to contract, against 47.0 days to contract across the 181 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Waterstone closings came in at 93.1% of the original asking price in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 94.5% in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025 and 92.4% across the 52 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026.
The 63 homes for sale carry the other half of the picture. The median active Waterstone listing is asking $290,999 and has been listed 31.0 days so far. 55 of the 63 are asking less than their original asking price, so those 55 sellers reached today’s number by moving off a higher one.
Those two day counts measure different things. The 47.0 figure is the midpoint of the 181 homes that sold in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and not a limit, so half of those closings took longer than 47.0 days to contract. The 31.0 figure is the midpoint of the 63 homes for sale as of September 23, 2026, which have not sold at all, and it counts from the day each one was listed.
Your range decides most of what this page means for you. Work out the price your home would ask, find that range, and read its row.
Waterstone carries a seller’s market label at 4.2 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis. That label is for the subdivision overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in. A Waterstone home in the $200,000-$249,999 range and one in the $350,000-$399,999 range are not in the same contest, even though they share a label.
Read your range’s row in the figure above two ways. The closings column tells you how much evidence stands behind a price at that level. The active column tells you how many sellers a buyer can choose from today.
Where the closings column is large, the range median rests on real volume, and a buyer already has a sense of what homes at that level have been selling for. Where it is small, the row says so, and your price has to be argued house by house. Any range under 10 closings is a thin sample.
Kyle as a whole closed 1,496 homes in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 at a median of $310,000. The town has 621 active listings and 5.0 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis. Waterstone’s $290,090 median sits under the town median, at 4.2 months against the town’s 5.0.

One neighborhood, one city, three spellings. All 181 Waterstone closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 carry Kyle in the MLS city field, so there is no city line splitting this one in two.
Waterstone appears in the MLS as Waterstone, as Waterstone Crossing and as Waterstone Village. All three are counted here as one subdivision. That is why this page reads 181 closings where a search on a single spelling reads a fraction of that.
A seller whose agent pulls comparable sales under one spelling is pricing off part of the record. 167 of the 181 closings were built in 2025 or later, so the part left out can easily be the newest and most comparable houses. Your listing competes against all 63 homes for sale here, and the closings behind your price are all 181.
For geography, the MLS listing fields on Waterstone carry Hemphill and HaysCONSISD. Attendance is set by the district and by the specific address. Confirm the assignment for your own address with the district before it goes in front of a buyer.
13 Waterstone listings ended without a sale in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and Kyle as a whole had 414 listings end without a sale in that same twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Ending without a sale means the listing expired or was withdrawn by its off-market date, and the share beside each count measures those against every listing that reached an outcome either way. The comparison runs 13 against 414 on the count and 6.7% against 21.7% on the share.
That gap is largely a builder effect. 59 of the 63 listings here belong to Lennar, Meritage Homes and Meritage. A builder can hold a house on the market in a way an owner with a job transfer cannot. Read the gap as a description of who holds the inventory here.
What an owner controls is the price the listing carries from the first day. A low non-sale share here describes an inventory held mostly by companies and says nothing about any one house. The 63 homes on the board as of September 23, 2026 are asking a median $290,999, and the 181 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 reached a median $290,090.
A WIR analyst walks Waterstone with you and shows you what a buyer sees before your sign goes up, using the 63 listings on the board as of September 23, 2026 alongside the closings in your own range:
No obligation. The report for Waterstone arrives within a minute; the pricing analysis comes after we walk the home. Nothing here promises a price, a timeline, or an outcome.
If your home would ask in the $150,000-$199,999 or the $200,000-$249,999 range, you are under Waterstone’s $290,090 median, and both rows read the same way. In each of them the homes asking today are fewer than the closings behind the range, so the range median rests on evidence a buyer can check and your price is argued against a short list of rivals rather than a crowded board. Sitting under the subdivision median does not place your house for you: a buyer at that price has few homes to weigh and will read your asking price against the range median first.
If your home would ask in the $250,000-$299,999 range, the subdivision’s own median lands inside your row, because Waterstone’s $290,090 median sits in this range. A buyer who arrives with that headline number in mind is shopping your row, so your price is read against the middle of the subdivision before it is read against your house. The closings behind this row are deep enough that the range median is evidence a buyer has already seen.
If your home would ask in the $300,000-$349,999, the $350,000-$399,999 or the $400,000-$449,999 range, you are over the $290,090 median, and those rows do not behave alike. The $300,000-$349,999 row has a deep closing record and a crowded active column, so the range median is well evidenced but your price has to hold up against whatever else a buyer can see the same day. The $350,000-$399,999 row has a real closing record and a short active column, so there are few rivals and the range median carries most of the argument. The $400,000-$449,999 row is a thin sample with no range median published, so there is no midpoint to price to and the house is argued on its own.
