If you are selling in Opal Meadows in Kyle, all 6 of the active listings as of September 23, 2026 are builder listings from Meritage Homes. Behind them sit 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, at a median sale price of $420,605 and a median cumulative days on the market to contract of 84.5.
Opal Meadows closed 25 homes at a median $432,000 and 96.4% of the original asking price in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, and 44 homes at a median $420,605 and 94.0% of the original asking price in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Which of those two records your own price answers to depends on your range and on what Meritage has standing unsold beside you, and this page works through both.
Opal Meadows closed 44 homes in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. The median sale price was $420,605, at a median 84.5 days to contract and 94.0% of the original asking price, on a median living area of 2,981 square feet and $142 per square foot. There are 6 active listings as of September 23, 2026, asking a median $385,990, and 1 of them is asking less than it first asked. All 6 are builder listings from Meritage Homes. Opal Meadows runs 1.6 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis, which carries a seller’s market label. That label is for the subdivision overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in, so your range tells you more than the label does. The median year built among the 44 closings is 2025. Find your own build era in Figure 1 and your own range in Figure 2 before you treat $420,605 as your answer.
The middle of the Opal Meadows market was $420,605 across 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, at $142 per square foot on a median living area of 2,981 square feet. Across the 13 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 the median was $410,000.
Opal Meadows closings carried a median living area of 2,981 square feet at $142 per square foot in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and a median 2,735 square feet at $159 per square foot across the 13 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, so the smaller median house is the one carrying the higher rate per foot. If your house is nearer 2,981 square feet, do not assume the $159 rate carries across all of it.

The median year built among the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 is 2025, and among the 13 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 it is 2026, so the house that sets this median is one nobody has lived in for long.
Yes, and nobody else is on the board. All 6 active Opal Meadows listings as of September 23, 2026 are builder listings, and all 6 come from Meritage Homes. 1 of those 6 is asking less than it first asked, and together they carry a median asking price of $385,990.
The build years say the same thing from the other side. Of the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, 43 were built in 2025 or later and 1 was built between 2015 and 2024, a single closing and too thin to price from.
Figure 1 marks the edge of what Opal Meadows can tell you. The eras before 2000 and from 2000 to 2014 are empty at 0 closings each, thinner than the 10-closing floor this page treats as reportable, so the $420,605 median came almost entirely out of houses finished in 2025 or later.
That takes the usual resale argument away from you. All 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were new build and 0 were resale, a count far too thin to build a resale median from, so an Opal Meadows seller cannot point to what a lived-in house here fetched; no lived-in house here closed in that period. If somebody has already lived in your house, that is the gap your pricing has to cross. The comparison runs between houses of nearly the same vintage, which throws the weight onto condition, lot, finish level and what Meritage has unsold that week. This page publishes no builder price, no incentive and no financing term. What the record does support is the shape of the contest: every Opal Meadows home on the market as of September 23, 2026 is a Meritage listing, and those 6 have been listed a median 71.0 days so far.
The median Opal Meadows closing reached contract at 84.5 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and the same measure was 69.0 days to contract in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Days to contract counts the days a home was listed before it went under contract, carried across relistings, so a home that came off the market and went back on does not restart at zero.
The 13 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 reached contract at a median 41.0 days to contract, against 84.5 days to contract across the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. Those 13 closings came in at 96.0% of the original asking price.
Every one of those day figures is a midpoint and none of them is a limit. 84.5 days to contract is the middle of the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, which means half of those closings took longer than 84.5 days to contract. The 6 homes for sale as of September 23, 2026 measure something else again: they have been listed a median 71.0 days so far and have not sold at all, so that figure describes houses still waiting rather than houses that finished. Those are the two markers this record gives you for deciding when to review your price, and neither one is a deadline.
Your range decides more of this than the subdivision median does, and in Opal Meadows it also decides whether you are pricing into where the closings happened or where the builder’s listings sit.
Opal Meadows carries a seller’s market label at 1.6 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026. That label is for Opal Meadows overall, and a price point changes which market a home is in, so a seller asking in one range and a seller asking in another are not in the same contest even inside one subdivision this small.
What Figure 2 cannot show you is where the headline figure sits inside it. The $420,605 median falls in the $400,000-$449,999 range, the range that produced more closings than any other in Opal Meadows in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, so the figure quoted for the subdivision as a whole was set by its busiest stretch of price and fits a house there more closely than one above or below it.
The listings are not sitting where the closings landed. 4 of the 6 active listings as of September 23, 2026 are asking in the $350,000-$399,999 range, while the $400,000-$449,999 range that produced more closings than any other holds 1 of them. If your house belongs in that busiest range, most of what a buyer can tour beside it is asking under you, and your square footage, condition and finish have to answer that.
At both ends of Opal Meadows the record thins out, and the figure rows mark which ranges those are. Where a range is thin there is not enough closed volume to argue your price from how the range behaved, so the case gets built house by house against named Meritage listings, which is worth settling before the sign goes up rather than after the first offer.
Kyle as a whole closed 1,496 homes in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 at a median of $310,000, with 621 active listings and 5.0 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis, while Opal Meadows closed 44 at a median $420,605 with 6 active listings and 1.6 months on the same basis in the same period. You are asking well above the town’s middle price out of a subdivision that clears listings faster.

All 44 Opal Meadows closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 carry Kyle as the MLS city field, so nothing here is split across two towns.
The name is what fragments. Opal Meadows appears in the MLS under 2 spellings, Opal Meadows and Opal meadows, and both are counted here as one subdivision. That is why this page reads 44 closings where a search built on a single spelling reads only part of the record.
In a subdivision this new the split costs more than it sounds, because the entire record behind your price is 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and 25 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Ask which spellings an agent searched before you accept a set of comparables, because your house competes against all 6 Opal Meadows listings as of September 23, 2026 whatever the MLS calls them.
For geography, the MLS listing fields on Opal Meadows carry Hemphill and HaysCONSISD. Attendance is set by the district and by the specific address, so confirm the assignment for your own address with the district.
1 Opal Meadows listing ended without a sale in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, a non-sale share of 2.2%, which means listings that expired or were withdrawn by their off-market date, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome either way, and in Kyle as a whole 414 listings ended without a sale in the same period, a share of 21.7%.
That gap is the strongest thing this record says about listing in Opal Meadows, and it is also the easiest figure on the page to misread as a guarantee. The share describes outcomes already recorded, not what any one listing will do, and it is not zero: one seller here did come off the market with nothing, in the same subdivision and against the same Meritage listings as the 44 who closed.
This record reports outcomes, so what separated that listing from the 44 that closed sits outside what it can tell you. What it does show is where the pressure sits: the 6 homes for sale as of September 23, 2026 are asking a median $385,990 and have been listed a median 71.0 days so far, while the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 landed at a median $420,605.
A WIR analyst walks Opal Meadows with you, looks at the 6 listings on the board, all of them Meritage Homes, and at the closings in your own range, and shows you what a buyer sees before your sign goes up:
No obligation. The report for Opal Meadows arrives within a minute; the pricing analysis comes after we walk the home. Nothing here promises a price, a timeline, or an outcome.
If you are pricing into the $350,000-$399,999 range, you are pricing into the range holding 4 of the 6 active Opal Meadows listings as of September 23, 2026, so a buyer will be weighing your house against Meritage inventory at nearly the same ask. There is real closed volume behind that range, so the question is not whether buyers pay that price here. It is what a house somebody has lived in gives a buyer that a builder’s unsold inventory does not.
If you are pricing into the $400,000-$449,999 range, the $420,605 subdivision median falls in your range, and so does the largest share of the last year of closings, so the headline figure on this page describes your house more closely than anyone else’s. Only 1 of the 6 active listings as of September 23, 2026 is asking up here with you, which means most of what a buyer tours beside you is asking below you, and the 2,981 square foot median living area behind that price is what your own square footage has to answer to.
If you are pricing into the $450,000-$499,999 range, the record behind you is 9 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, thin at fewer than 10, and 1 of the 6 active listings as of September 23, 2026 is up there with you. Find out what those specific houses did before you set your price, because the 6 listings on the board as of September 23, 2026 are asking a median $385,990 while the 44 closings in the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 landed at a median $420,605.
