Buyers in Waterstone, Kyle are pricing resales against brand-new homes, and over the last 90 days they paid 92.4% of original asking price. Most of what sold here in the past year was new construction, and against that competition I read the neighborhood as a whole as a buyer’s market, though the two busiest price ranges here landed in different markets. About three in four homes for sale today have already cut their price. I would price a Waterstone resale from the first day against the builder homes for sale here and the recent closings in your price range.
160 Kyle homeowners have trusted my real estate team to sell their home, and that count does not include a single buyer my team has represented. Everything on this page comes from the same MLS record I use to price those homes.
Most homes that closed in Waterstone over the past year were brand-new builder homes, and with resales priced against them, I read the neighborhood as a buyer’s market right now. My reading comes from sale price against original asking over the last 90 days, and it describes the neighborhood overall; the price range section below shows two ranges sitting in different markets.
Those 90 days ran mostly through summer, the strongest selling season, and Waterstone landed on the buyer’s side anyway.
Over the last twelve months, Waterstone homes sold for 92.9% of original asking against 93.7% for Kyle as a whole. I take that to mean buyers here bargain a little harder than they do across the rest of town.
Yes. Price per square foot in Waterstone fell from $162 in the prior twelve months to $150 in the last twelve months, which means an owner selling today gets less for each foot of house than a neighbor did a year earlier.
It kept falling through the strongest selling season, from $150 over the last twelve months to $145 across this past summer.
The homes selling here stayed close to the same size across those periods, so I can’t put the drop down to bigger houses changing the math.
I read the same direction in sale price against original asking. Buyers paid 94.6% of original asking in the prior twelve months and 92.9% in the last twelve months, which means owners are giving up more of their first price to get to a contract.
Your home is competing mostly against houses nobody has lived in yet. Of the 180 homes that sold here in the last twelve months, 154 were new-construction closings.
Lennar and Meritage Homes each have two homes for sale in Waterstone now. When a buyer tours your house, a builder’s home in the same neighborhood is usually on that buyer’s list too, and I see resale owners lose ground when they price as if that home didn’t exist.
Your house has things a new build often lacks on day one, like a finished yard and a closing date that doesn’t wait on construction. Those are the points I would put in front of a buyer who has just walked through a builder’s home down the street.
Over the last twelve months, the median Waterstone home took 49 cumulative days to contract, which counts the time across any relisting.
Days to contract rose from 38 in the prior twelve months to 49 in the last twelve months. For an owner, those extra days are more time for buyers to compare your house with a builder’s.
Across Kyle as a whole, homes took 66 days to contract over the last twelve months, which means a Waterstone home still reaches a contract sooner than the town as a whole.
Waterstone has 3.1 months of supply at the pace of the past year, against 4.7 months for Kyle as a whole, which makes supply here tighter than in the town around it.
When I see tight supply and soft prices together, as in Waterstone, the pressure usually comes from what buyers can compare against, and here that is mostly a builder’s home.
It changes the answer a great deal. Two price ranges had enough recent sales to read, and I would price a home in each of them differently.
| Price range | Sold in 90 days | Median sale price | Sale price vs original asking | For sale now | Market in this range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $200,000 to $249,999 | 19 | $220,000 | 85.0% | 10 | buyer's market |
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 17 | $320,000 | 95.0% | 12 | balanced market |
In the lower of the two ranges, buyers have been paying well under what owners first asked, which puts that part of Waterstone on the buyer’s side.
In the higher range, buyers paid close to original asking, which is a balanced market.
I would sell now if you are ready to move, and I would price against the builder homes and recent closings from the first day. Price per square foot fell over the past year and again through the summer, and nothing in the figures I have gives me a reason to hold out for a better number.
My team has sold 160 homes across Kyle, and in Waterstone I start every pricing conversation with the builder homes on the same streets, because those are the homes your buyer has already seen.
My team walks your home and lines it up against what buyers are touring in Waterstone right now. Here is what you learn from the Home Competitor Analysis:
No obligation. The report for Waterstone comes first. Then I walk the home with you before we talk about price.
If your home falls in the range starting at $200,000, I would set the price from recent closings in that range from the first day. Buyers there have been paying well under original asking, and a high opening price mostly leads to a cut later.
If your home falls in the range starting at $300,000, condition carries real weight in a balanced market. I would handle small repairs and get the house move-in ready before the first showing, since buyers in that range are paying close to what owners ask.
If you bought from a builder in the last year or two, your nearest competition is the Lennar and Meritage Homes inventory in Waterstone itself. I would price against those homes and the recent resales, and show buyers what you have that a new build doesn’t.
The Home Competitor Analysis shows the homes you would have to beat, what they are asking, how long they have been on the market, which have cut their price, and how your home may compare.
