What is your Jarrell home worth when a new build is down the street?

Quick answer

Your appraised value and recent sold comps show where the market was yesterday, and in Jarrell that market has moved down: price per square foot was $150 over the past twelve months against $165 the year before. A buyer prices your home against what is for sale now. Your own number depends on your home’s size, condition and price range.

Does a new build down the street lower my home’s value?

A new build down the street gives a buyer a reference price, and the recent sales show how close the two kinds of home are. Over the last three months a typical Jarrell resale sold for $257,500, against $250,000 for a typical new build.

Per square foot, the typical resale sold for $141 and the typical new build for $151.

Buyers also paid closer to the first asking price on new builds, at 94.7% of original asking against 93.1% for resales. The chart below sets a square foot that sold beside a square foot that sellers are asking.

What are builders asking in Jarrell right now?

Builder listings in Jarrell ask a median $254,990, and resale listings ask a median $252,500.

Builder asking runs wide, from $149,999 to $619,900, so the median says little about any one house. Both kinds of listing ask the same median per square foot, $145, so on asking price the two are close competitors.

An asking price is a hope and not a sale, and most builder listings have already cut their price.

Is my home worth less than it was a year ago?

On town-wide sales, Jarrell prices are lower than a year ago. Price per square foot was $150 over the past twelve months, against $165 over the twelve months before.

The median sale price moved with it, $259,990 against $274,000, and the last three months sit lower again at $250,000 against $258,440 in the same three months last year.

A sale you remember from the past year ties your expectations to the earlier price, and the twelve-month figures say buyers have moved down from it. The timing question is on Should you sell your Jarrell home now, or wait?

Does my price range change what buyers pay?

Buyers in Jarrell paid different shares of the first asking price in different ranges over the last three months. Homes in the $200,000 to $249,999 range closed at 93.9% of original asking, a buyer’s market for that range.

The $250,000 to $299,999 range closed at 93.1%, also a buyer’s market for that range.

The $300,000 to $349,999 range closed at 94.5%, balanced for that range.

The $350,000 to $399,999 range closed at 94.8%, also balanced.

The twelve-month basis reads some of them differently. On twelve months the $200,000 to $249,999 range reads balanced.

The $250,000 to $299,999 range reads as a buyer’s market on twelve months, and so does the $300,000 to $349,999 range.

The $350,000 to $399,999 range reads balanced on twelve months. Each reading is for that range as a whole, and your own street and condition can move the result.

Is my appraised value what a buyer will pay?

An appraisal district sets a value each year for tax purposes, and what a buyer pays gets settled in the contract. I do not predict appraisal outcomes.

Watters International Realty is a real estate brokerage and not a tax or legal adviser. Questions about your own appraised value, your homestead cap, whether to protest, a PID or MUD assessment on your lot, or what a bond election would do to your own tax bill belong with a tax professional, and the record for your specific parcel is held by the Williamson Central Appraisal District (https://www.wcad.org). What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.

Will your home hold its value next to a new build?

Your price range and the condition of the house decide it. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
