Lariat Market Pulse: Prices Dip as Sales Speed Up

Median home prices in Lariat dipped slightly to $460,350 across 121 closed sales in the rolling six months ending September 30, 2026, down 2.3% from the prior six-month period. Despite the price adjustment, homes are selling significantly faster, with the median days on market falling 31.9% to just 64 days compared to 94 days previously. The speed of sales suggests strong demand even as prices cool slightly. The median close-to-original list ratio improved to 0.922, up 3.4% from the prior period, indicating buyers are getting closer to asking prices than they were six months ago. However, 89.3% of homes still sold below their original list price, a share that rose 4.2% compared to the previous window. Price per square foot ticked up 1.7% to $184, while the median living area shrank slightly by 1.7% to 2,592 square feet. Year-over-year, prices are up 2.3%, but price per square foot is down 4.2%.
