“Working with Kathy Brinkley was one of the best experiences I have ever had selling a home. My previous realtor spent an entire year trying to sell my house without success, blaming the slow market. When I shared my experience with Kathy, she took it as a challenge and sold my house in just three months! Her communication was excellent, and she kept me informed throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. Kathy is knowledgeable, professional, dedicated, and truly understands the real estate market. Instead of making excuses, she finds solutions and delivers results. I am incredibly grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want a trustworthy realtor who goes the extra mile, Kathy Brinkley is the one to choose!”

Latest Monthly Snapshot
August 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Cherokee County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Cherokee County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Cherokee County has tightened compared with last year, with active listings down about 14 percent even as the broader Texas market has seen only a modest decline. At the same time, new listings have dropped nearly 38 percent year over year, and pending sales are lower as well, indicating a slower flow of fresh options coming under contract each month.
Pricing has moved up sharply over the past year despite this softer listing activity, with the typical home value up more than 30 percent and the median list price up about 21 percent. Compared with the state as a whole, Cherokee County’s typical home value now sits below the Texas median sale price, which may appeal to value-focused buyers even as local prices trend higher.
Homes are taking time to move, with a median of 85 days on market in August and only about 10 percent selling above list price, yet the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, signaling that closing prices generally line up with asking prices. With roughly six and a half months of supply and a buyer’s market label, conditions lean toward buyers who have more leverage but still require realistic pricing from sellers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting trends can use Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Cherokee County’s data-driven market dynamics.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Christopher Beal! From the very beginning to the day we closed on our new home, Christopher demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, honesty, and genuine care for our family. Relocating from South Dakota to Texas and purchasing a home was a major milestone for our family, and Christopher helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. His knowledge of the real estate market, attention to detail, outstanding communication, and willingness to go above and beyond gave us confidence throughout the entire process. What truly sets Christopher apart is that he doesn’t treat his clients like just another transaction. He genuinely cares about the people and families he represents. He was patient, approachable, and always willing to answer questions, address concerns, and ensure we understood every step of the way.”
