🏡 Corpus Christi Real Estate Check-In: The Last Couple of Weeks

🏡 Corpus Christi Real Estate Check-In: The Last Couple of Weeks

As we move through the late fall season, the Corpus Christi real estate market is steady and active. It is not the frenzy we saw a few years ago, but serious buyers are still out shopping and well-priced homes are selling. 🌊✨

Here is a simple breakdown of what has been happening over the last couple of weeks and what it means for you.

💰 Prices: Steady With Modest Movement

Most recent sales in Corpus Christi are landing in the mid-200s to low-300s, with list prices a bit higher. Overall, prices are either flat or showing a gentle uptick compared to this time last year.

For sellers, that means you still have solid equity to work with. 📈
For buyers, the good news is that prices are not running away from you. ✅

⏱️ Days on Market: Slower Pace, But Homes Still Move

Compared with a year or two ago, homes are taking longer to sell. Many properties are staying on the market two to three months before going under contract.

The practical takeaway:

• Clean, well-presented, correctly priced homes can still move quickly. 🚀
  
  
• Overpriced homes or properties that need obvious work are the ones that sit. 🧱
  
  

This creates room for real negotiations on both sides. 🤝

🏘️ Inventory: More Choices For Buyers

There are more homes on the market now than during the peak seller’s market. Buyers have:

• More choice in neighborhoods and price points. 📍
  
  
• The ability to compare a few options instead of feeling forced to jump on the first house they see.
  
  

For sellers, this means you must stand out. Strong photos, good staging, and realistic pricing are more important than ever. 📸✨

📉 Mortgage Rates & Affordability

Mortgage rates have eased slightly from their highs earlier in the year and are hovering in a more manageable range. Combine that with the fact that Corpus Christi prices are still lower than many other Texas coastal areas, and you get a market that is relatively affordable for both primary homes and investment properties.

If you are renting, upsizing, downsizing, or considering a second home near the water, this can be a smart time to explore your options. 🏠🌅

🧾 What This Means If You Are Selling

If you are thinking about putting your home on the market in the next few weeks:

1. Price it strategically. Look at recent sales, not just active listings. 📊
   
   
2. Dial in condition and presentation. Small updates, light landscaping, and decluttering go a long way. 🌿🧼
   
   
3. Be prepared for realistic timelines. Many homes are selling, but the “list on Friday, sold by Monday” days are less common.
   
   

Well-prepared homes are still selling for strong prices, especially in sought-after areas. ⭐

🔑 What This Means If You Are Buying

For buyers, this is a market with opportunity:

• More inventory means less pressure and more negotiation power. 💪
  
  
• You can ask for repairs, credits, or closing cost help on the right property. 🧾
  
  
• You can be thoughtful about your purchase instead of feeling rushed.
  
  

If you have been on the fence, the next few weeks can be a great window to start looking. 👀
