Of the 15 homes for sale in Talavera in Kyle on September 23, 2026, 12 are builder listings, and every one of those 12 carries D.R. Horton’s name. The closings run the same way: 36 of the 39 homes that closed in Talavera over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were new build and 3 were resale, which is a thin sample, at a median sale price of $298,000.
Which way that cuts for you depends on whether you are selling a builder’s house or your own. A Talavera resale is the minority case in its own subdivision, and the only part of its price a buyer cannot also get from D.R. Horton is what you have already added to the house. It is a decision with time in it, too: the median cumulative days on the market to contract, which counts the days a listing spent on the market before it went under contract, was 71.0 days over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and half the closings took longer than that.
Talavera closed 39 homes over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 at a median of $298,000, which is $172 per square foot on a median 1,773 square feet, with a median of 71.0 days to contract, 94.3% of original asking price and a median year built of 2025. 15 homes were active on September 23, 2026 at a median asking price of $309,000, 6 of those 15 were already below their original asking price, and 12 are builder listings. Talavera carried 4.6 months of inventory on the twelve month basis, a measure that sets the homes for sale against the closing pace of the same twelve months. That is a seller’s market label for the subdivision overall and not a statement about your house, because your price point changes which market a home is in, and Kyle as a whole ran 5.0 months over the same twelve months. If you want your own address measured against that record instead of against the subdivision median, start with the form on this page.
Because D.R. Horton has not finished selling Talavera, and that one fact shapes the closing record here more than anything else. 36 of the 39 homes that closed over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 were new build and 3 were resale, a thin sample, and 12 of the 15 homes for sale on September 23, 2026 are builder listings.
The build years say it again. 36 of those closings were built in 2025 or later and 3 between 2015 and 2024, a thin sample, with none built between 2000 and 2014 and none before 2000. So the median behind this subdivision describes a 2025 house, because a 2025 house is nearly all that sold.
What D.R. Horton cannot hand a buyer at closing is everything you have already paid for. A fence, a finished backyard, blinds, gutters and a grown lawn each carry a dollar figure, and that figure is what a buyer would still have to spend to bring one of the builder listings up to your house. Itemize it in dollars rather than asserting it, because the buyer in your rooms has just walked a model down the street.
For the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 the answer is a median sale price of $298,000 across 39 closings, on a median 1,773 square feet and $172 per square foot. In the 90 days ending September 20, 2026 only 5 homes closed, a thin sample that one sale can move, at a median of $295,777, a median 2,093 square feet and $144 per square foot.
Median sale price in Talavera was $298,000 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against $318,765 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, across 39 closings against 55.
| Measure | 90 days ending September 20, 2026 | Twelve months ending September 20, 2026 | Twelve months ending September 20, 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closings | 5 | 39 | 55 |
| Median sale price | $295,777 | $298,000 | $318,765 |
| Median days to contract | 92.0 | 71.0 | 52.0 |
| Percent of original asking price | 91.3% | 94.3% | 93.9% |
| Median living area | 2,093 sq ft | 1,773 sq ft | 1,770 sq ft |
| Price per square foot | $144 | $172 | $180 |
| Median year built | 2026 | 2025 | 2024 |
The house itself barely moved: median living area was 1,773 square feet over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against 1,770 square feet over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. What a buyer paid for each of those feet did move, because price per square foot was $172 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against $180 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. In a subdivision where almost every sale is a builder’s house at a builder’s price, the per-foot figure is the builder’s to set.
Talavera’s own median sale price of $298,000 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 lands in the $250,000 to $299,999 range. The median asking price among the 15 listings active on September 23, 2026 was $309,000, which lands in $300,000 to $349,999.
| Price range | Closings, twelve months | Active now | Range median |
|---|---|---|---|
| $200,000 to $249,999 | 2 | 0 | No median published |
| $250,000 to $299,999 | 21 | 5 | $285,000 |
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 16 | 8 | $322,707 |
| $350,000 to $399,999 | 0 | 2 | No median published |
That split between where Talavera homes closed and where they are asking is the most useful thing on this page. The subdivision’s own midpoint sits in the lower of those two ranges and the asking prices sit in the higher one, along with the larger share of the competition. A seller who prices from what the neighbors and the builder are asking is pricing into the range with more listings standing in it and fewer closings standing behind it.
2 of the 15 listings are asking in the $350,000 to $399,999 range, where Talavera recorded no closings at all over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 and where no range median is published, because there is nothing to take a median of. A price set there has no Talavera closing behind it. At the other end, $200,000 to $249,999 is a thin sample of 2 closings with no listings active, so a house that belongs in that range has to be argued from its square footage and build year rather than from neighbors.
Median days to contract in Talavera was 71.0 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against 52.0 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Across the 5 closings in the 90 days ending September 20, 2026, a thin sample, the median was 92.0 days.
Sellers took 94.3% of original asking price over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against 93.9% over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025, while the median sale price was $298,000 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 against $318,765 over the twelve months ending September 20, 2025. Those two measures answer different questions. The percentage says how much of an asking price survived to closing, not how strong that asking price was, and in Talavera most asking prices are set by D.R. Horton rather than by an owner.
The 15 listings active on September 23, 2026 had been listed a median of 20.0 days at the pull, which is elapsed time on houses with no outcome yet, while the 71.0 day median counts only the Talavera homes that reached contract. They describe different groups of houses.
Half of the 39 closings took longer than 71.0 days to reach contract, because 71.0 days is the midpoint of that record and not a limit on it, and reaching contract is still not closing. A listing plan here is built around 71.0 days to contract, with carrying cost counted across at least that many days and any price review named against that 71.0 day midpoint rather than a round number.
4 listings in Talavera ended without a sale over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, a non-sale share of 9.3%, meaning listings that expired or were withdrawn by their off-market date, as a share of every listing that reached an outcome either way. Across Kyle over the same period 414 listings ended without a sale, a share of 21.7%.
Talavera’s share sits well below Kyle’s, and it is worth understanding what carries it before reading it as reassurance. Most of what gets listed here is a builder’s standing inventory rather than an owner’s house: 12 of the 15 homes for sale on September 23, 2026 are builder listings, and 36 of the closings were new build.
For an owner selling a resale here, the honest read is less comfortable. Your house is the minority case in your own subdivision, one of the 3 resale closings, which is a thin sample, and the low share above is carried by the builder rather than by resale owners getting their price. The figure that speaks to you directly is this one: 6 of the 15 listings active on September 23, 2026 were already below their original asking price.
Because the MLS does not carry Talavera under one name. It carries 5 spellings, and every one of them counts as the same subdivision in every figure on this page: TALAVERA, Talavera Ph 1, Talavera Ph 2, Talavera Ph 3 and Telavera.
A comparable set assembled under a single spelling holds only what was filed under that spelling, not the 39 closings from the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, and what comes back is a confident sounding median built on a handful of sales, which is a thin sample by WIR’s own floor of 10 closings. Telavera is the sharpest of the 5, because a single letter is all that separates it from the name the rest of the subdivision is filed under.
It costs more here than it would in an older neighborhood, because the phases are not interchangeable and neither are the build years behind them. A set drawn from one phase can hold only the newest streets and still be called Talavera. So ask any valuation you are handed how many of the 39 closings it was built on, and which of the 5 spellings it counted.
The same listings record HaysCONSISD as the school district and Susie Fuentes as the elementary school, and all 39 closings carry Kyle as the MLS city. Those fields are geography as the MLS records it, nothing more, and they are part of what holds these listings together for a buyer filtering by school. Attendance is set by the district for the specific address, so confirm both with the district for your own address before the listing is written.

If you are selling a Talavera resale, you are the minority case in your own subdivision, one of the 3 resale closings over the twelve months ending September 20, 2026, which is a thin sample, against 36 new build. Your argument is the fence, the finished yard, the blinds, the gutters and the lot, itemized in dollars against what a buyer would still have to spend on a D.R. Horton house on the same streets.
If you bought in Talavera between 2015 and 2024, your house sits with the 3 closings from that build era, which is a thin sample, while the $298,000 median from the twelve months ending September 20, 2026 describes the homes built in 2025 or later. A valuation that hands you the subdivision median is describing houses newer than yours, and the comparable set that actually fits you is far smaller than the headline 39 suggests.
If your Talavera home is already listed, check your own listing against three figures before deciding the problem is the market. 6 of the 15 listings active on September 23, 2026 were already below their original asking price, the median asking price among those 15 was $309,000, and those listings had been listed a median of 20.0 days at the pull against the 71.0 day median to contract for the homes that reached one.
