McLendon-Chisholm, TX Housing Market Update | Reporting Period: July 1–31, 2026

Key Highlights | McLendon-Chisholm Housing Market Update

Median Price: $740,000 (+13.9% year over year)
Closed Sales: 7 (unchanged year over year)
Active Listings: 59 (+47.5% year over year)
Months of Inventory: 9.7 (up from 6.1 last July)

A note on this month's numbers: McLendon-Chisholm closed just 7 sales in July — a very small sample. At this volume, month-to-month percentage changes can swing widely without reflecting any real shift in the market. Please read every figure below as directional, not definitive, and reach out for a direct conversation about current conditions rather than relying on the percentages alone.

PRICES
Median price was $740,000, up 13.9% from July 2025. Price per square foot rose a stronger 18.4% to $256.00. With only 7 transactions behind this number, a single higher-priced home closing can move the median significantly — this is not a reliable signal of a broad value increase.

SALES ACTIVITY
McLendon-Chisholm closed 7 sales in July, exactly matching last July's count. With volume this low, "unchanged" is close to meaningless as a trend signal — it simply means the small sample landed on the same number twice.

INVENTORY
Active listings rose sharply, up 47.5% year over year to 59. Months of inventory jumped to 9.7, up from 6.1 last July, reflecting how much more selection buyers have relative to the very light sales pace.

MARKET BALANCE
At 9.7 months of supply, McLendon-Chisholm sits firmly in buyer-leaning territory. Days on market fell to 53, down 33 days from last July, and homes are closing at 96.4% of original list price — a healthy ratio, even amid the low volume.

What Sellers Need to Know

Inventory has grown substantially — 59 active listings against just 7 sales this month.
The 96.4% close-to-list ratio shows well-priced homes are still closing near asking.
With so few transactions in this market, a real estate advisor who tracks it closely matters more than the raw percentages.
The $500K–$749K band led sales this month at 57.1% of closings.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 9.7 months of supply, this is one of the most buyer-favorable readings in our entire coverage area.
59 active listings against only 7 monthly sales means real selection and real negotiating room.
Days on market actually fell to 53, so don't assume slower sales mean stale listings — good homes are still moving.
Nearly all closed sales this month were above $500K, reflecting this market's higher-end character.

2026 McLendon-Chisholm Housing Market Forecast

Because McLendon-Chisholm sees so few transactions each month, we'd caution against drawing firm conclusions from any single reporting period — including this one. If inventory keeps growing at its current pace, expect buyer-favorable conditions to persist through the rest of the year. If mortgage rates ease, watch for sales activity to pick up from its currently thin pace, which would help firm up these numbers into something more reliable. For now, both buyers and sellers in this market are best served by a conversation grounded in specific comparable homes rather than the percentage swings alone.
