As of October 16, 2026, a Smithville buyer comparing homes is looking mostly at other resales, since builders list 14.7% of the homes for sale. In my read, the listings that matter to you are the resales near your price, because 46 resale listings have already cut their price, and condition and price position decide which one a buyer picks. String Prairie Homes lists the most named builder homes.

| Builder | Listings | Asking range | Median asking |
|---|---|---|---|
| String Prairie Homes | 4 | $344,872 to $377,500 | $347,372 |
| Et Cetera | 1 | $340,000 to $340,000 | $340,000 |
| Cfl Investments | 1 | $330,000 to $330,000 | $330,000 |
| Jg Real Estate | 1 | $297,000 to $297,000 | $297,000 |
| New Start Custom Homes | 1 | $1,140,000 to $1,140,000 | $1,140,000 |
| Palm Harbor | 1 | $495,000 to $495,000 | $495,000 |
| Sta Granite Solutions | 1 | $350,000 to $350,000 | $350,000 |
Builder asking runs from $274,950 to $1,140,000, so the spread says little about any one house. Palm Harbor lists one home at $495,000 and New Start Custom Homes one at $1,140,000.
Burleson and M5 Sub each closed nine homes over the past twelve months, ahead of Smithville Townsite with eight and Byrne with six. Table 2 gives the sale price, build year and homes for sale in each.

| Subdivision (MLS name) | Sold, twelve months | Median sale price | Median build year | For sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burleson | 9 | $285,000 | 1935 | 12 |
| M5 Sub | 9 | $318,000 | 2025 | 0 |
| Smithville Townsite | 8 | $219,500 | 1956 | 7 |
| Byrne | 6 | $232,500 | 1984 | 4 |

M5 Sub is the builder community of the group, with a median build year of 2025 and no homes for sale now, so it puts no competing listing in front of a buyer today. Burleson has 12 homes for sale, the most of any subdivision in the table, and Smithville Townsite has 7.
Indian Lake and Lake Thunderbird each closed four homes over twelve months and each has six for sale now, so in both places the homes for sale outnumber a year of sales. Pine Valley Estates closed four and has three for sale.
Builders also list in Byrne, Indian Lake, Lake Thunderbird, Kellar Farms, Smithville West, The Prairie and Woodrose Place, so a builder home can sit down the street in more places than the closings suggest.
Builders compete at some prices and not others. The $350,000 to $399,999 range has the most new builds for sale, five among its listings.
The $300,000 to $349,999 range has four, and the $250,000 to $299,999 range has three.
Those counts are for homes for sale in each range as a whole, and your street and your home’s condition can move the picture for your own house. Only one new build closed in the last three months, so there is little recent sold evidence of what a buyer pays for one.
Most resale sellers have already cut. 46 resale listings are priced below their original asking price, and the typical resale has been listed 84 days so far.
Builder listings have been listed longer. The typical one has been on the market 186 days so far, and 6 are below their original asking price.
A buyer who has seen a cut price may measure your first price against it. How long homes took to reach a contract, and which ones did not, is on Is your Smithville listing stuck? How long homes here took to reach a contract The builder-led version of this question, with my position on it, is on the Manor page, What is your Manor home competing against? The houses your buyer tours that same afternoon.
In my read, a resale here wins on price position. Many of the resales near yours have already come down, so a first price at or below recent closed sales stands out from listings still asking their original number.
A resale loses ground when its first price sits above where the street has closed. What the sold figures say a buyer pays is on What will a Smithville buyer pay for your home, and what can an appraisal miss?, and whether to list now given this competition is on Has waiting for last year’s price helped Smithville sellers?
That depends on your price and your part of town, and an address tells us more than the town figures do. If that is you, the fastest way to know is to run your address.

So for your house: at the price you would list at, which listings would a buyer walk through this week, and what does yours show them that those do not?
