Carillon has the most closings of the seven subdivisions on this cluster in Manor’s 78653, and almost all of that volume is the builders’. Over the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, 93 homes closed there at a median sale price of $365,093, and on September 9 the community had 35 homes for sale, 30 of them D.R. Horton, DRB Homes and M/I Homes listings. Our read is that a Carillon resale owner is one of the first few to sell against builders who are still selling around them, and the numbers on this page are mostly the builders’ numbers.
Carillon, in Manor’s 78653, had 93 homes close in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026 at a median sale price of $365,093, a median of 76 cumulative days on the market, and 95.0% of original asking; 92 of the 93 were built in 2025 or 2026 with a builder on the record and 1 was a resale. On September 9, 2026 the community had 35 homes for sale and 4.5 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis: 30 were D.R. Horton, DRB Homes and M/I Homes listings and 5 were resales, 3 of which had already cut their asking price, and 17 homes were pending. Under WIR’s rule that supply is a seller’s market, and the label belongs to the builders’ inventory, since a price point and a seller type change which market a homeowner is in. What changes it for you is that as a resale owner you are pricing against the builder’s own list, with the builder able to move a buyer’s rate.

Last updated September 14, 2026. Sales data covers the 90 days ending September 8, 2026 and the twelve months ending the same day (Unlock MLS via MLS Grid); listing inventory as of September 9, 2026; builder pricing and incentives read September 8, 2026.
On the MLS, the Carillon subdivision rows show 93 closings in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026 at a median sale price of $365,093, a median of 76 cumulative days on the market, and a median 95.0% of original asking price. The last 90 days of that period had 22 closings at a median of $354,990 and 80 days, at 93.0% of original asking. On September 9 the community had 35 homes for sale, which is 4.5 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis and 4.8 on the 90-day basis, with 17 homes pending and 1 under contract. Months of inventory means: if no more homes came on the market, how long it would take to sell everything listed at the current pace. Chris’s rule beside it: the right company sells faster than the average listing. Under WIR’s rule, 4.5 and 4.8 months are a seller’s market, and that label belongs to a community where the sellers are builders; a price point and a seller type change which market a homeowner is in.
The twelve months before those had 154 closings at a median of $389,990 and 54 days, at 91.8% of original asking, and the same 90 days one year earlier had 39 closings at $371,990 and 38 days. Fewer homes closed in each current period than in the matching earlier one, 93 against 154 and 22 against 39, and each pair of medians was measured on different houses and different plans, so WIR reports both and makes no price claim. The build years of the 93 recent closings run from 2021 to 2026; 92 of them were built in 2025 or 2026 with a builder on the record, and 1 was a resale. The builder flag on closings is a proxy from the build year and the builder field, and it is stated as one.
Of the 35 homes for sale in Carillon on September 9, 2026, 30 were builder listings with a median asking price of $364,990, and 5 were resales with a median asking price of $335,000 and a median of 65 days on the market so far; 3 of the 5 resales had already cut from their original asking price. Across 78653 on the same day, D.R. Horton had 57 active listings priced from $261,990 to $469,775, with 16 of them in Carillon; DRB Homes had 14 from $319,990 to $469,990, 9 in Carillon; and M/I Homes had 5 from $349,990 to $379,990, all in Carillon. Those ranges are the builders’ ZIP-wide MLS ranges, and Carillon’s 30 builder listings sit inside them. Over the twelve months, 7 Carillon listings ended without a sale, 5 of them builder listings and 2 resales, against 93 that closed.
Inside the community, the twelve months show 36 sales between $300,000 and $349,999 with 11 for sale on September 9, or 3.7 months on that basis; 34 sales between $350,000 and $399,999 with 20 for sale, 7.1 months; and 17 sales between $400,000 and $449,999 with 2 for sale, 1.4 months. Each label applies to its own band inside a community where the sellers are builders, and a price point changes which one a homeowner is in. The 5 resale listings, at a median $335,000, sit at the bottom of the builders’ range. Why a builder can hold a price and move the buyer’s rate instead, and Chris’s position on what builder supply does to a resale market past five to six months, is on is new construction hurting Manor resale values?; the full builder table for 78653 is on what is your Manor home competing against right now?
Carillon’s listings record two school districts. Of the 93 closings in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, 57 recorded Elgin ISD and 36 recorded Manor ISD; in the separate campus field, 57 recorded Neidig Elementary and 35 Presidential Meadows Elementary. A buyer’s agent searches by district, and a seller in Carillon should confirm which side of the line their lot sits on from their own parcel record at the Travis Central Appraisal District (https://traviscad.org) before the listing goes live, because the two halves of the community show up in different searches. Manor ISD lists its campuses on its site. Schools and districts appear here as geography; nothing on this page describes them beyond their names.
The 78653 median sale price of $330,000 sits under Carillon’s twelve-month median of $365,093 and under its builder listings’ median asking price of $364,990. The 5 resale listings, built around 2022 at the median, are priced near the ZIP’s median, against builders asking roughly $30,000 more for a new house. What a buyer pays for the difference, and what a resale wins on, is on what is your Manor home worth next to a brand-new house?
It does if you own a resale in Carillon, because the buyer touring your house has 30 builder listings to see inside the same community, 17 homes in the community were already pending on September 9, and 3 of the 5 resale listings have already cut. It does if your likely price sits between $350,000 and $399,999, where the community carried 20 listings against 34 sales, 7.1 months on the twelve-month basis. It does if your house, built around 2022, shows the wear of living in it next to a new one that has none. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
It competes differently if your likely price sits between $300,000 and $349,999, where the community had 36 sales and 11 listings, 3.7 months, the deepest band and the one the 5 resales are priced into. WIR’s read is that a resale competes on what the builder’s remaining lots cannot offer, a finished yard or a lot, and on a house with no construction schedule attached. If you bought on the Manor ISD side of the line, that is a search the Elgin ISD half of the community does not appear in. If you do not know your likely price, start with what your Manor home is worth next to a brand-new house; the decision itself is on should you sell your Manor home now, or wait?
The builders own the Carillon numbers, with 93 sales in a year and 30 of the 35 listings. A resale owner is one case inside that, on one side of the district line, with 5 resale listings at a median $335,000 as the only comparison that is not a builder’s. You are one of the first resale sellers in a community the builders are still selling. What does your house have that their model home cannot show, and is your price built on that or on theirs?
