Lubbock's housing market kept its momentum in September, with the largest jump in under-contract homes this year, according to the Lubbock Association of Realtors. Pending listings across the Lubbock Metropolitan Statistical Area rose 26.7% to 602, suggesting buyer demand is carrying into the cooler months.
September by the numbers
Measure | Sept. 2026 | Sept. 2025 |
|---|---|---|
Median price | $256,000 | $245,000 |
Homes sold | 404 | 401 |
Average days on market | 46 | 52 |
Active listings | 1,857 | 1,872 |
Sale-to-list ratio | 95.0% | 94.2% |
The median price rose 4.5% from a year earlier, and sellers received slightly more of their asking price.
Supply still favors sellers
Months of inventory measured 4.0, down 7.7% from last year. That figure estimates how long it would take to sell every current listing if no new homes came on the market. The Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M places a balanced market at 6.0 months, so Lubbock's supply remains on the sellers' side of that line.
Texas does not make home sale prices public record. The association's figures come from broker-reported activity in its Multiple Listing Service.
