Top-Rated Real Estate Agents for Texas Buyers and Sellers

Is last year’s Taylor sale price the number your buyer will use?

Quick answer

Price per square foot in Taylor was $173 over the twelve months ending October 15, 2026, against $179 over the twelve months before. In my read, an appraised value and last year’s comps show where the market was, while a buyer prices your home against what is for sale beside it now. Your own number depends on your home’s size, condition and price range, and the walkthrough is the only step that settles it.

Does a new build in Taylor change what my home is worth?

A buyer who has toured a new build arrives at yours with a price in mind, and the last three months of Taylor sales show how the two kinds of home compare. The typical resale sold for $281,000, and the typical new build sold for $284,052.

Per square foot the order flips, with resales at $170 and new builds at $152.

Dollars alone hide the difference, since two homes at close to the same sale price can carry a different price for each square foot. The chart below sets those sold figures side by side. In my read, a buyer who has seen both is weighing what a square foot costs, and the resale seller is better served by knowing both numbers before naming a price.

What are sellers asking in Taylor right now?

On asking prices, resale listings sit at a median $203 per square foot and builder listings at a median $164, which gives a buyer a lower price per square foot on a new build.

Asking prices are what sellers hope for and the sold figures above are what buyers paid, so they measure different things. Across all the homes for sale the median ask is $192 per square foot.

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

Taylor’s median sale price was $304,472 for the most recent twelve months and $319,000 for the twelve months before that, which is $14,528 lower.

A median is the middle of many sales, so half the homes that closed went for less than it, and I do not treat it as the number for any one house.

Does my price range change what buyers pay?

Buyers pay different shares of first asking in different price ranges, and the town reading covers all of them. Over the last three months, the $250,000 to $299,999 range read as a seller’s market for that range.

The $350,000 to $399,999 range read balanced for that range, like the town as a whole.

Ranges with fewer than 10 recent sales are read on the twelve-month basis, and each reading applies to that range as a whole. The full table sits on What can the 76574 numbers tell a Taylor seller, and what can they not?

How should I read these numbers against my own home?

The typical Taylor home that closed in the last three months measured 1,824 square feet, so a home much larger or smaller than that is compared on different ground per square foot, and a figure for the town hides that spread.

Condition and street move the number as well. The walkthrough is where I adjust for them, house by house, because a buyer who tours your home and another on the same afternoon is adjusting for every difference.

Is my appraised value what a buyer will pay?

An appraisal district values a property each year for tax purposes, while a buyer’s price is settled in the contract. Nothing on this page predicts how an appraisal will come out.

What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.
