Sun City Texas: August Market Recap and Outlook

What does a 4.3% price increase mean for Sun City Texas buyers and sellers in August? The market saw median closed prices rise to $375,000 across 59 transactions, up from $359,500 the prior month. This follows a pattern of volatility seen over the last two years, where monthly swings have ranged from double-digit drops to gains exceeding 30%. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the full 24-month trend to contextualize this movement. While prices are up slightly compared to August 2025, they remain below the peaks seen in early 2026. The median price per square foot held steady at $211, while homes took an average of 39 days to sell, a slight improvement from the 40 days recorded previously. Inventory remains tight with just over two months of supply available today. This scarcity supports prices even as the number of new listings dropped significantly compared to the prior month. The median home size sold also increased by 12.8% to 1,888 square feet, suggesting buyers are prioritizing larger floor plans in this 55+ community. Current mortgage rates sit at 7.28%, impacting affordability calculations for prospective buyers. For a typical sale price of $375,000, a 3-2-1 buydown would cost approximately $13,956 to reduce the initial interest rate, while a 2-1 buydown would run about $7,092. The market continues to show resilience with sales volume up 11.3% year-over-year, indicating sustained demand despite higher borrowing costs. Thinking of selling in Sun City Texas?
