On September 18, 2026, 494 of the 1,243 homes for sale in Georgetown were builder listings, 39.7% of everything on the market, spread across 46 builder names. Perry Homes had 80 of them and Lennar 63. What that means for your home depends on your likely price band, whether a builder’s finished home is standing in your subdivision, and what your lot offers that a builder’s lot does not.
Your Georgetown home is competing against 494 builder listings as of September 18, 2026, 39.7% of the 1,243 homes for sale, asking $274,999 to $1,649,900 with a median of $517,041 under 46 builder names. The weight is heaviest in ZIP 78628, where 270 of the 588 homes for sale are builder listings, and between $550,000 and $749,999, where builder listings are 82 of 129 and 59 of 103 homes for sale. The answer for your own home turns on your likely price band, whether a spec, a home the builder finished without a buyer under contract, is standing in your subdivision, and what your lot offers that a builder’s lot cannot.

Table 1 shows the ten largest names; Chesmar appears under two spellings, 23 as Chesmar Homes and 17 as Chesmar, and the 494 counts all 46. 334 of the 494 have already come down from their original asking price. For a resale seller that means the Table 1 medians already carry cuts on 334 listings; price off a builder’s launch number and you are priced against a figure the builder no longer asks.
The 494 builder listings ask a median $517,041 and $208 per square foot as of September 18, 2026; the 749 resale listings ask a median $419,500 and $204 per square foot. Per square foot the two groups are close; on the whole-house number they are far apart.
334 of the 494 builder listings and 474 of the 749 resale listings sit below their original asking price, and the builder listings have been on the market a median 75 days so far against 67 for the resales.
What closed is a different measurement from what is asked. In the 90 days ending September 17, 2026, the 274 new builds that sold closed at a median $464,500 in 57 days at 94.6% of original asking; the 531 resales closed at a median $416,000 in 45 days at 95.2%. What that means for the number on your own home is on what is your Georgetown home worth next to a brand-new house?
Between $550,000 and $649,999, 82 of the 129 homes for sale in Georgetown on September 18, 2026 are builder listings, and between $650,000 and $749,999 it is 59 of 103. Under $250,000 there are 26 homes for sale and none is a builder listing. The builder count in each band uses the same MLS flag as the 494, so Table 2 is the builder table split by price.
Table 2. Georgetown by price band, Residential; closings by sale price (90 days ending September 17, 2026), actives by asking price (as of September 18, 2026). WIR label rule: under 5.5 months seller’s, 5.5 to 6.5 balanced, over 6.5 buyer’s. A band’s label is for that band only, and a price point changes which market a home is in; the 90-day label is published only where the band had at least 10 closings, the twelve-month basis is used and named where it had fewer, and no median is published under 5.

The median build year in Table 3 is the tell: where it says 2025 or 2026, our read is that most of what sold was the builder’s own product, and a resale there is priced against the builder’s next release before the neighbor’s sale.
One row. The WIR New Construction Inventory sheet, read September 18, 2026, carries a single Georgetown entry: Wolf Ranch 51′, Perry Homes, in 78628, published $574,900 to $799,900, at least 9 move-in-ready specs (a spec is a home the builder finished without a buyer under contract), and an incentive as published of price reductions on select quick move-ins of up to $45,000 off. The sheet counts finished homes advertised as ready and the MLS counts all 80 Perry Homes listings, homes under construction included, so the two are not meant to match.
A price reduction on a finished spec lands on the same comparison a buyer makes with your home, the whole-house price. NAHB’s August 2026 builder survey found 35% of builders cutting prices, an average cut of 6%, and 63% using incentives, a national survey and context only beside the Georgetown counts above. How a builder pays for a rate buy-down or a closing-cost credit, and what that does to resale values, is Chris’s position on is new construction hurting resale values?
Our read is that a Georgetown resale wins on the ground and on the number. The 44 homes for sale in Wolf Ranch and the 37 in Woodfield Preserve sit on lots of the size each subdivision’s plat, its recorded lot map, allowed; a resale on a larger lot, a corner or a lot backing to open land offers what none of those listings can. A finished street with grown trees and no framing crew next door is what Sun City, at a median build year of 2013 across 90 closings with 17 for sale, has and Woodfield Preserve, at 2026, cannot claim yet. And a resale priced under the builder median of $517,041 is a finished house at a lower whole-house price.
A resale does not win on warranty, on being new, or on the up to $45,000 off Perry Homes publishes on select Wolf Ranch quick move-ins; it wins on the whole-house number, $416,000 against $464,500 on what closed in the 90 days ending September 17, 2026. What separates a Georgetown listing that sells from one that does not is on why aren’t homes selling in Georgetown?
It is if your likely price sits between $550,000 and $749,999, where builder listings are 82 of 129 and 59 of 103 homes for sale on September 18, 2026; if your home is in 78628, where 270 of 588 listings are a builder’s; or if your subdivision’s median build year in Table 3 reads 2025 or 2026. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
Whether now is the moment, with 4.6 months of inventory in Georgetown and 65.0% of the homes for sale already cut, is the question on should you sell your Georgetown home now, or wait?
