Which house is your buyer touring the same afternoon?
This is the exercise I run with every Manor seller.
Know the exact house your buyer will tour the same afternoon as yours, by community, by price, and by what the builder is throwing in. Most sellers price against the neighbor’s resale. In this ZIP the neighbor’s resale is not the competition.
New builds were 68 of the 140 homes that closed in the last ninety days, so the competition is real. How those sales compare with resale sales, size for size, is on Is new construction hurting Manor resale values?
Where do builders sit against your price?
Builders list most of the homes for sale in the $350,000 and $400,000 ranges and few in the lowest range, as the table shows. A resale in those middle ranges is next to a finished new home more often than a resale in the lowest range.

| Price range | Homes for sale | New builds | Resales |
|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 to $299,999 | 58 | 4 | 54 |
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 64 | 15 | 49 |
| $350,000 to $399,999 | 73 | 39 | 34 |
| $400,000 to $449,999 | 43 | 33 | 10 |
| $450,000 to $499,999 | 30 | 18 | 12 |
Over the last twelve months, resales that sold were larger than new builds at the same price in every range up to $500,000. That gives a buyer more space for the money. Size-adjusted, resales still sold for less per foot in most brackets over the last twelve months, so size alone does not close the gap, and What is your Manor home worth next to a new build? shows how I weigh it against a builder’s price.
Is anything else coming that a seller should watch?
Hoodline reports a planned community called Eastwood south of Blake Manor Road, with homes expected between $400,000 and $600,000 starting early next year. I found no City of Manor action on it, so I treat it as announced and not approved.
If you are selling acreage or a farm-and-ranch property, builders are not the whole story, and that has its own page: Selling acreage or a higher-priced Manor home?
If your home is in Whisper Valley, I have a page on that community. How long homes take to sell next to all this supply is on How long does it take to sell a home in Manor?
Which builders matter to your home?
The ones listing in your price range, near your street. If your home is in the lowest range, other resales shape your price more than builders do. If it is in the $350,000 or $400,000 range, a builder is probably your nearest competitor. Run your address and the report names the homes.
