| Period | Sold | Median sale price | Price per square foot (median) | Median days on market | Share of original asking price | Median living area (square feet) | Median build year |

| Same 90 days a year earlier (July 23, 2025 to October 20, 2025) | 10 | $444,999 | $211 | 106 days | 90.2% | 2,208 | 2022 |

Supply is deep as well, about nine months at the recent pace, because builders keep adding homes in the newer phases while resales come up in the older ones.
How many Goodnight Ranch listings failed to sell?
A lot of them. Over the last three months, 14 Goodnight Ranch listings came off the market without a sale, meaning they expired or were withdrawn. Only 12 closed in the same stretch.
That is the part of this market a seller can do something about. Most of those listings were priced to a number the buyers touring Goodnight Ranch that week were not willing to pay.
Did Goodnight Ranch prices fall this year?
Yes. The typical home sold for $385,000 over the past twelve months, against $428,244 the year before.
Part of that is smaller homes selling, and part is real. A square foot brought $190 this past year against $218, so the same house sold for less.
Who is building in Goodnight Ranch?
Empire Homes, Highland Homes and David Weekley Homes, with Avi Homes listing one home.

| Price range | Sold | Median sale price | For sale | New builds for sale | Homes that cut their price | Months of supply | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $350,000 to $399,999 | 18 | $368,500 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1.3 | balanced |
| $400,000 to $449,999 | 10 | $383,500 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2.4 | buyer’s market |
One range up, buyers pushed harder and the result was a buyer’s market for that range.
Sell now, or wait?
In Goodnight Ranch the listings that sold were the ones that opened where buyers already were.
- Sell now if your home is in an older phase with mature trees and you can open below the nearest new build.
- Sell now if your price range is the one where buyers paid near full asking.
- Wait if the house needs repairs a buyer will find, and fix them before listing.
- Wait if you need last year’s price, because buyers here stopped paying it.
An asking price based on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s, is the first thing I would set. Goodnight Ranch homes I list go to my buyer network during the coming-soon stage, 4,000 cash buyers in my black book plus buyers who finance, and you pick from every option that comes in.
Your situation
