Del Valle’s 78617 is balanced overall but slower than Cedar Creek and Buda: in the three months ending October 15, 2026, homes took a median 95 days to reach a contract. Cedar Creek reads as a buyer’s market and Buda as balanced, each for that town overall, since a price point changes which market a home is in. In my read, the range table matters more to a Del Valle seller than any town reading.

Del Valle has the lowest typical price of the three towns and the longest median days to contract. Cedar Creek carries the most months of inventory and Buda the fewest, as Table 4 shows.

| Town | Sold | Median sale price | Median days on market | Share of original asking price | For sale | Months of supply | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Del Valle | 47 | $324,000 | 95 days | 96.1% | 110 | 7.0 | balanced |
| Cedar Creek | 48 | $371,950 | 64 days | 93.2% | 127 | 7.9 | buyer’s market |
| Buda | 248 | $349,990 | 53 days | 95.7% | 452 | 5.5 | balanced |
Cedar Creek reads as a buyer’s market for that town overall, and Buda and Del Valle read balanced. A price point changes which market a home is in, so the town reading is the start of the comparison.
Table 5 lists the ranges with at least 10 sales in the last 90 days, since those earn a three-month reading. Each range is read from what its homes closed at against original asking, so the reading covers that range only.
Table 5. Del Valle homes by price range. Sales are from the 90 days ending October 15, 2026; homes for sale are as of October 16, 2026. A range is a seller’s market when homes sell for at least 97% of their original asking price, balanced from 94% to 97%, and a buyer’s market below 94%. Each reading is for that price range only; a different price point changes which market a home is in. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the last 90 days are shown. Source: Unlock MLS.
| Price range | Sold | Median sale price | For sale | New builds for sale | Homes that cut their price | Months of supply | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 21 | $315,990 | 30 | 19 | 23 | 4.3 | balanced |
| $350,000 to $399,999 | 10 | $348,720 | 27 | 22 | 21 | 8.1 | balanced |
Homes between $300,000 and $349,999 closed at 96.9% of original asking, balanced for that range.
Homes between $350,000 and $399,999 closed at 95.9%, also balanced for that range, and builders hold most of the homes for sale in both.
The thinner ranges are read on twelve months of sales, and the table leaves them out. On that basis:
Months of inventory run low in the $400,000 to $449,999 range, yet the reading rests on what buyers paid. Choosing between listing now and waiting, range by range, is in Should you sell your Del Valle home now, or wait with Longview still listing?
The figures come from a fresh MLS pull each time these pages are rebuilt, and the pull date sits in the last-updated line above the tables.

In Del Valle that figure is 7.0 months, against 6.0 for the Austin metro. Read it beside what buyers paid against the first asking price, because that is what decides which market you are in.
