Lavon, TX Housing Market Update – January 2026

Reporting Period: Jan 1–Jan 31, 2026 • Data via NTREIS

Key Highlights

  • Median Price: $342,500 (−2.5% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 44 (+214.3% YoY)
  • Active Listings: 212 (+292.6% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 4.8 (+2.0 YoY)

PRICES
Lavon’s median sold price in January was $342,500, down 2.5% compared to January 2025. This is the kind of modest movement you often see when buyers have more options and are less willing to stretch for homes that don’t feel like clear value. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes still perform, but “best-case” pricing is harder to justify when inventory grows.

SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales rose to 44, a significant increase from last January. That jump signals more buyer follow-through and more transactions getting across the finish line. Even with stronger sales volume, the homes that win are typically the ones that are positioned correctly from day one—pricing, condition, and presentation still matter.

INVENTORY
Active listings ended the month at 212, substantially higher than a year ago, which changes the experience on both sides of the transaction. The most active price band among available homes is $300,000–$399,999, representing about 47.2% of active inventory—so that’s where most of the listing competition is concentrated. With more selection, buyers can compare more closely and negotiate more confidently.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory is estimated at 4.8, up from 2.8 last January, indicating a shift toward a more balanced market. Market timing supports that: the median closed home spent about 100 days on market, plus roughly 21 days from contract to close, for a total of about 121 days from list to close. The market is still moving, but it’s less forgiving on homes that miss the mark on pricing or preparation.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • With inventory up sharply, pricing correctly from the start matters more than “testing” a high number.
  • Buyers are comparison-shopping, so condition, staging, and strong online presentation have a bigger impact.
  • Expect more negotiation on repairs and concessions—especially if the home isn’t move-in ready.
  • In the $300K–$399K range (the most competitive band), value clarity and launch strategy matter.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • More inventory means more choice and better leverage to negotiate thoughtfully.
  • Opportunities are strongest on listings that are overpriced, dated, or have been sitting.
  • Well-priced, updated homes can still move quickly, so be prepared when value aligns.
  • Focus on total value—layout, condition, location, and long-term fit usually matter more than chasing a single “deal.”

2026 Lavon Housing Market Forecast

Lavon is starting 2026 with meaningfully more inventory than last year, which should keep buyers selective and negotiations active—especially for homes that don’t show or price as the best option in their bracket. If mortgage rates soften later in the year, demand could tighten quickly for the best-positioned listings, particularly during the spring and early summer season. If rates remain elevated, expect longer decision cycles and continued requests for concessions on homes that need updates or feel overpriced. For sellers, 2026 is likely to reward preparation, realistic pricing, and strong first-week marketing more than “market momentum.” For buyers, the current selection supports better decision-making and stronger terms, particularly on listings that have been sitting.
