🏡 Corpus Christi Real Estate Update: What’s Been Happening Lately?

Hey everyone — Deldi Ortegon here, bringing you a sweet, up-to-the-minute look at how the Corpus Christi real estate market has been shaping up over the past couple of weeks. Grab your coffee ☕ and let’s get into it!

📊 Market Snapshot: Stability with a Hint of Momentum

• Median sale price is holding steady at around $273,000, showing a modest 1.1% year-over-year increase — the market remains balanced, neither sliding nor sprinting.

• On the listing side, median asking prices are at $309,900, a 4.6% drop compared to last year.

👉 In plain terms: Buyers still have room to negotiate, and sellers who price smartly are getting attention.

🏠 Inventory & Speed: More Options, More Time

• Active listings are up nearly 40% from last year — so buyers, you’ve got choices!

• Homes are spending more time on the market, with properties going pending in about 73 days on average.

• Some areas are moving quicker, around 52 days, showing variation across neighborhoods.

✨ More inventory and a little more time to sell = a buyer-friendly market while still reasonable for sellers who price wisely.

📉 Home Values: Slight Cooling, But Still Strong

• The average home value is about $222,639, down roughly 3.3% over the past year.

• Yet the median sale price is up — higher-end or well-positioned homes are holding value better than the average.

🤔 What Should Buyers and Sellers Do?

For Buyers:
✅ Increased listings + more time = negotiating power
✅ Watch for price reductions — motivated sellers are adjusting to market shifts

For Sellers:
✅ Strategic pricing and presentation matter now more than ever
✅ With more competition, make your listing stand out from day one

💡 Final Takeaway

Corpus Christi isn’t setting sales records, but it’s opening the door wide for smart, savvy moves on both sides. Whether you're buying, selling, or just watching the market, strategy and timing are everything.
