🌊 Corpus Christi Real Estate: The Past Two Weeks at a Glance

The Coastal Bend market has been active, steady, and full of movement these past two weeks. While the broader Texas market continues to cool, Corpus Christi remains one of the more stable coastal metros, with consistent buyer activity and balanced conditions. Here’s a clear, link-free breakdown you can share with clients or post as a market update.

Inventory Is Slowly Growing, Giving Buyers Breathing Room

Inventory levels in the Coastal Bend have ticked up compared to last year, giving buyers more homes to choose from. While the market hasn’t shifted as dramatically as other metros, we’re seeing:

• More new listings hitting the market week over week
  
  
• Slightly longer days on market for homes priced above the median
  
  
• Increased buyer selectiveness, especially around condition and price
  
  

This creates a more balanced environment than the fast-paced, low-inventory conditions of recent years.

Prices Holding Steady with Modest Adjustments

Compared to the RGV, Corpus Christi home prices have remained more resilient. Over the past two weeks:

• Sale prices in many neighborhoods have held steady
  
  
• Some sellers are making modest price improvements to compete
  
  
• Well-presented, move-in-ready homes continue to command strong attention
  
  

Homes under $300K continue to move at a healthy pace, while higher-end homes are experiencing slightly longer listing periods unless competitively priced.

Most Active Segments of the Market

The price ranges drawing the strongest buyer activity include:

• $200,000 to $350,000 — the core of first-time and move-up buyer demand
  
  
• Newer construction homes, especially those built after 2015
  
  
• Well-maintained homes in established neighborhoods like Calallen, Flour Bluff, and the Southside
  
  

The luxury and waterfront markets are seeing steady, lifestyle-driven interest — buyers in these categories are selective, but serious.

What This Means for Buyers

• You have more choice and flexibility than in recent years
  
  
• Slight increases in inventory may open the door to negotiations
  
  
• Move-in-ready properties still move quickly, so be prepared with financing
  
  

For buyers relocating to the coast, this is an ideal moment — more options, less pressure, and opportunities for value.

What This Means for Sellers

• Pricing right from day one is essential
  
  
• Homes in great condition are still getting strong showings and solid offers
  
  
• Homes needing updates or priced above market may sit longer
  
  
• Waterfront and luxury sellers should be prepared for a more patient market
  
  

Strategic marketing, great photos, and a competitive price point are the most important tools right now.

What To Watch Into Next Month

Over the coming weeks, key trends to monitor include:

• How quickly new listings are absorbed
  
  
• Whether days on market continue to creep upward
  
  
• Growing activity in the $250K–$400K range
  
  
• Any shifts caused by interest rate movement or seasonal buyer patterns
  
  

Corpus Christi tends to stay steadier than many Texas markets, so even with rising inventory, activity remains reliable.
