Manor, TX market report: are home prices going up or down?
Quick answer
Down. The typical home in the city of Manor sold for $165 a square foot over the last ninety days, against $182 in the same ninety days a year earlier. Over those ninety days the city read as a buyer’s market, with homes selling at 93.9% of their original asking price. Manor’s ZIP code reaches past the city line and reads balanced. Selling now can work for a move-in ready home with an asking price based on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s.

Is now a good time to sell in Manor?
It can be, if your home is ready and your price starts from what homes sold for this year. Over the last ninety days the city of Manor read as a buyer’s market, at 93.9% of original asking price. That sits just under the line for a balanced market, so it is close. The same ninety days a year earlier read 93.8%, also a buyer’s market.

How far have Manor prices fallen?
Yes, per square foot. The typical home in the city sold for $165 a square foot over the last ninety days, against $182 over the same ninety days a year earlier.
Median sale price moved the same way, $318,000 against $345,000. The typical size of the homes that sold barely changed, so smaller houses do not explain the drop.
Austin metro prices per square foot fell too, $206 against $213 over the same two periods. Manor fell by more.
Over the last twelve months the typical Manor home sold for $169 a square foot, against $183 over the twelve months before.
What is holding buyers back?
I see the market this way.
There is pent-up demand in the market. Tons of buyers on the sidelines not purchasing. This is because there is a lack of alignment between the sellers’ personal wants and what a buyer can afford. Affordability has been severely impacted because of interest rates. Interest rates and home prices move in opposite directions in most instances. However, unlike Wall Street, the market is not that fluid. But in reality, it should be.
Here is what that looks like in Manor’s record. The city closed 126 sales in the last ninety days, against 144 in the same ninety days a year earlier.

Who are you selling against in Manor?
Builders list almost a third of the homes for sale in the city, and D.R. Horton lists the most. A buyer who tours your house can walk through a finished builder home the same afternoon.
That makes the builder’s price the one that matters, more often than your neighbor’s. Which builders are listing and what they ask is on What is your Manor home competing against?, and whether new construction pulls resale prices down is on Is new construction hurting Manor resale values?
If your home is in a named neighborhood, I have separate pages on a few of them, such as Whisper Valley and ShadowGlen.
Whether you have to cut your price to compete with the builders is on Do you have to cut your price to compete with Manor’s builders? What to fix before you list is on How much should you spend fixing up your Manor home before selling? If you are selling acreage or a farm-and-ranch property, start with Selling acreage or a higher-priced Manor home?
What is changing around Manor that a seller should know about?
Manor ISD has a $400 million bond on the November 3 ballot. The district publishes what it says the bond does to the tax bill on a typical home on its bond page. I cannot tell you what it does to your own bill or to what a buyer would pay.
Watters International Realty is a real estate brokerage and not a tax or legal adviser. Questions about your own appraised value, your homestead cap, whether to protest, a PID or MUD assessment on your lot, or what a bond election would do to your own tax bill belong with a tax professional, and the record for your specific parcel is held by the Travis Central Appraisal District (traviscad.org). What WIR can tell you is what a buyer would pay.
The US 290 Extension, a planned toll extension east past Manor, held a public open house in Manor on October 1, and its project site lists no construction date. Broadstone Net Lease says it started building a Hobby Lobby and an Academy Sports store in Manor, both expected to finish around the middle of 2027, in its August release. None of this has a measured effect on Manor sale prices yet, and I do not claim one.
Does this market work for you as a seller?
It tends to work for you when the home is move-in ready and the first asking price starts from this year’s closed sales. It works against you when the first price is a number from last year, because most sales here closed below the price they first listed at. Run your address to see which side you are on.
The city as a whole is a buyer’s market, and your price range can read differently. A range with few sales tells you less than the city does.
