Does the 78749 scoreboard describe your house?
Closely, for most of the ZIP. Start with your address and we will check yours.
- Closely, for an established house in the $500,000s or low $600,000s.
- Loosely, for a house that needs updating, since most buyers here compare against homes that have been redone.
- Loosely, near the top of the ZIP, where few homes sold.
- Closely, for a ready house priced on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s.
Your situation
78749 sells quickly and steadily, and two of every three listings have still had to cut. Speed here rewards the house priced right, and it does little for the one priced high.
So the question for yours is which side of that line it would open on, given the listings a buyer will see the same weekend.

What does months of supply tell a 78749 seller?
Chris’s position, approved September 9, 2026.
Months of supply is the number I watch. It means: if no more homes came on the market, how long would it take to sell everything listed at the pace homes are selling now. The right company sells a lot faster than the average listing.
In 78749 it is 3.9 months, a bit above the area, and with two thirds of the listings cut that supply is mostly homes that opened too high.
