Stonewater, with Stonewater North, is the Manor subdivision carrying the most supply relative to its sales of any on this cluster. Over the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, 20 homes closed there at a median sale price of $281,750, and on September 9 the subdivision had 27 homes for sale, which is 16.2 months of inventory on that basis. Our read is that Stonewater’s homes sell when they reach a buyer’s price, in 52 days at the median, and that most of the listings there have not reached it.
Stonewater and Stonewater North, in Manor’s 78653, had 20 homes close in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026 at a median sale price of $281,750, a median of 52 cumulative days on the market, and 94.5% of original asking; the last 90 days of that period had 7 closings at a median of $272,500 and 48 days, a thin sample. On September 9, 2026 the subdivision had 27 homes for sale, none of them builder listings, and 16.2 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis; 13 of the 27 had already cut from their original asking price. Over the same twelve months, 34 listings ended without a sale against the 20 that closed. What changes it for you is whether your asking price is the one the 20 sold at or the one the 27 are still waiting on.

On the MLS, the subdivision rows for Stonewater and Stonewater North show 20 closings in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026 at a median sale price of $281,750, a median of 52 cumulative days on the market, and a median 94.5% of original asking price. The last 90 days of that period had 7 closings at a median of $272,500, 48 days, and 93.0% of original asking; WIR flags any figure on fewer than 10 sales as thin, so the twelve-month figures carry this page. On September 9 the subdivision had 27 homes for sale, which is 16.2 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis and 11.6 months on the 90-day basis. 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. That label is for this subdivision; a price point changes which market a homeowner is in.
The twelve months before those had 32 closings at a median of $309,954 and 64 days, at 95.9% of original asking, and 17 listings that ended without a sale. Fewer homes closed in the current twelve months, 20 against 32, and the two medians were measured on different houses in different years, so WIR reports both and makes no price claim from them. The 20 recent closings were built between 2006 and 2020, with a median build year of 2017; the median home that sold was 1,789 square feet.
Over the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, 34 Stonewater listings expired or were withdrawn against 20 that closed, which is 63.0% of every listing that reached an outcome either way. In the last 90 days of that period the count was 8 ended against 7 closed, 53.3%. The figure counts listings, so a house listed twice and pulled twice counts twice, and a house that was pulled and later sold appears on both sides. Even read that way, it is the highest share of any Manor subdivision on this cluster. How the ZIP as a whole compares, and Chris’s position on why a listing fails, is on why aren’t homes selling in 78653?
The 27 homes for sale on September 9 had a median asking price of $289,000, above the $281,750 median the 20 sold homes reached, and a median of 39 days on the market so far, against the 52 days the sold homes needed. 13 of the 27 had already cut from their original asking price. One home was under contract and 2 were pending. WIR’s read of those rows is that Stonewater asking prices start above where the sales land, $289,000 against $281,750 at the medians, and the listings then split: some come down and close, and more are pulled. What a seller controls in that situation is Chris’s position, and it lives on the page linked above.
Over the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, 16 of the subdivision’s 20 closings were under $300,000, with 19 of the 27 active listings priced there on September 9, or 14.2 months of inventory on the twelve-month basis. 4 closings landed between $300,000 and $349,999 with 8 for sale, a thin band named with its twelve-month period. Both labels apply to their own band inside one subdivision, and a price point changes which one a homeowner is in.
Across 78653, the $250,000 to $299,999 band had 33 closings in the 90 days ending September 8, 75 homes for sale, and 6.8 months of inventory, with new builds 12% of the homes for sale in it. Stonewater’s 19 under-$300,000 listings are a meaningful part of that band’s resale supply, and the sellers there compete mostly with each other and with the Presidential subdivisions at the same prices, whose page is Presidential Meadows, Presidential Glen and Presidential Heights: what sellers should know. Builder inventory reaches down to $247,900 on the MLS; the full builder list is on what is your Manor home competing against right now?, and the ZIP band table with WIR’s label rule is on is 78653 a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Stonewater sits in Manor ISD. 16 of the 20 closings in the twelve months recorded ShadowGlen Elementary as the campus, and Manor ISD lists ShadowGlen Elementary School among its campuses. Schools appear here as geography, because a buyer’s agent searches by them; nothing on this page describes them beyond their names.
It does if your house is one of the 27 already listed, because the 27 are asking a median $289,000 while the last 20 sales landed at $281,750, and 13 of them have already come down. It does if your likely price sits under $300,000, where the subdivision carried 19 listings against 16 sales in a year. It does if your house was built around the subdivision’s median year of 2017 and shows its age next to a 2020 house around the corner at the same price. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.
It applies less if your house is priced where the sales are, because the 20 that sold went in a median 52 days and the 7 in the last 90 days went in 48, both under the 49 days for 78653 as a whole on the 90-day basis. It applies less if your house shows better than the listing of similar age and size down the street; the 20 that closed did so at 94.5% of original asking while 13 of the 27 still listed have cut. If the house needs work to get there, the preparation question is on how much should you spend fixing your Manor home before selling? If you do not know your likely price, start with what your Manor home is worth next to a brand-new house.
The MLS rows for Stonewater show 20 sold and 34 ended without a sale in the twelve months ending September 8, 2026, with 27 waiting and asking a median $289,000 against a $281,750 sale median. Your house is one case inside that, on one street, with a listing of similar age and size nearby. What would your asking price and your house have to be for a buyer to choose it inside the 52 days the sold homes needed?
Whether your house lands with the 20 that closed or the 34 that ended without a sale comes down to your price against the last sales and how it shows against the listings around it. Give us your address and we run the process behind this page against your actual property. You get:
