Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lavaca County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
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 (Jul 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Lavaca County show a market with steady options but slower movement. Active listings were essentially flat year over year in July, while new listings surged more than 40 percent from last year even as pending sales dropped over 40 percent, pointing to more choices but fewer deals getting signed.
Pricing is adjusting to this softer demand, with the typical home value down more than 25 percent from a year ago even as the median list price is up nearly 30 percent, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices than what buyers are ultimately paying. The average sale-to-list ratio has inched up a bit over the past year to just under 95 percent, and no homes sold above list in July, underlining buyers’ leverage at the negotiation table.
Conditions also reflect a clear buyer’s market, with months of supply at 5.7, similar to the statewide Texas level of 5.8 but up more than 40 percent from last year locally. Homes are sitting much longer, as the median days on market has climbed sharply to 123 days, signaling that sellers may need patience and flexible pricing strategies. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics in Lavaca County can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a skilled local real estate agent who understands this market.
