Guadalupe County Market Pulse: Prices Rise in Rolling Six Months

Guadalupe County home prices have ticked upward in the first half of 2026, with the median closing price reaching $320,000. This figure represents a 1.2% increase compared to the prior six-month period and an 8.5% rise from the same window last year. The market has also seen homes sell faster, with the median days on market dropping to 43 days, down 27.1% from the previous six months and 50.6% lower than a year ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the closing data to track these shifts in price and speed. While prices have climbed, the pace of sales has slowed compared to the prior period, with 87 closed sales recorded versus 90 previously. The median price per square foot rose to $167, reflecting a 4.4% increase over the prior six months, though this remains 5.6% below the same period last year. Buyers and sellers are seeing more competitive terms, with the median close-to-original list ratio improving to 0.954. This indicates that homes are selling closer to their original asking prices than in previous periods. The current inventory of 115 active listings suggests a balanced environment as the market absorbs new supply. Current mortgage rates stand at 7.32% according to Freddie Mac data for the week of October 22, 2026. This rate influences buyer purchasing power and payment affordability in the region. The data reflects ABOR-listed sales only, covering the rolling six-month window ending September 30, 2026. Want a closer look? Reply or call George at 713.918.9951 and we'll set up a showing.
