How can an Estancia West seller price when M/I Homes has already cut every listing?

Quick answer

M/I Homes has cut all 9 homes for sale in Estancia West, Manchaca, and the homes that sold in the three months ending October 15, 2026 closed at 93.2% of original asking, a buyer’s market for Estancia West overall. In my read, a seller prices against those reduced listings and the new homes that closed, since no resale sold, and a price point changes which market a home is in.

Every one of them has been reduced from its original asking price.

Months of inventory is the supporting number, and at 1.9 months it points to a tight supply while the share of original asking points to a buyer’s market. In my read, the two disagree because every home for sale is a builder’s home that has already come down.

Which price range is my Estancia West home in?

No range reached 10 sales in the last three months, so I read the ranges on the past twelve months.

The $400,000 to $449,999 range reads balanced over that period, for that range alone, and four homes for sale there have all been reduced.

The $450,000 to $499,999 range reads as a buyer’s market for that range, and two homes for sale there have been reduced too.

The $500,000 to $549,999 range also reads as a buyer’s market for that range, with no home for sale in it now.

The $350,000 to $399,999 range had too few sales for a reading, and its three homes for sale have all been reduced. The timing question for your range is on Should you sell your Manchaca home now, or wait? This season read the same last year.
