monthly market update

In Waterview, one of Rowlett's most amenity-rich neighborhoods, active listings rose 25.8% year over year to 39 in July 2026, while closed sales climbed 22.2% to 11. Months of inventory rose to 8.2, and homes closed at a strong 95.1% of original list price after averaging just 38 days on market. Pricing trend analysis is deferred to the broader Rowlett city report given Waterview's smaller monthly sample.

Waterview, one of Rowlett's most amenity-rich communities — golf course lots on Waterview Golf Course, catch-and-release fishing lakes, 14 parks and playgrounds, tennis courts, and a private waterpark — saw both inventory and sales activity rise this July.

ACTIVE LISTINGS & INVENTORY
Active listings climbed 25.8% year over year to 39. Months of inventory rose to 8.2, up from 5.8 last July, putting Waterview well into buyer-leaning territory relative to its own historical pace.

SALES ACTIVITY
Waterview closed 11 sales in July, up 22.2% from a year ago — inventory and sales both grew, suggesting more homes are coming to market and finding buyers, rather than simply piling up unsold.

MARKETING TIME & NEGOTIATION
Homes averaged 38 days on market, down 18 days from last July, and 25 days from contract to close, down 6 days. The close-to-list ratio held at a strong 95.1%, suggesting well-priced homes are still commanding close to asking price despite the larger inventory pool.
