Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lavaca County real estate market. *
April 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 (Apr 2026).
Inventory in Lavaca County has thinned slightly, with active listings down about 9% from last month and roughly 7% lower than a year ago, yet supply is still very high at 18.8 months compared with about 5.4 months statewide. Contract activity has cooled, as homes sold have fallen by about two-thirds year over year and pending sales are down nearly half, pointing to slower deal flow.
Pricing has reacted to this softer demand, with the typical home value and median list price both dropping more than 20% over the past year. Even with those declines, sellers are still achieving close to asking price, with an average sale-to-list ratio above 98% and a growing share of homes, about one-third, closing above list.
Time on market has shifted dramatically, with the median days on market shrinking to just 13 days after being much longer for much of the past year. With so few closings and such ample supply, Lavaca County is firmly in buyer’s market territory, giving shoppers more options and leverage than in the broader Texas market. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these changing conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands how to price, market, and negotiate effectively in this environment.
Lavaca County offers residents a warm, tight-knit community with rich local history, welcoming outdoor recreation, and affordable opportunities to live, work, and grow.
Lavaca County sits between San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, offering small‑town living with straightforward access to major job centers and medical hubs. Communities like Hallettsville, Shiner, and Yoakum provide everyday conveniences without long commutes, along with easy driving routes to larger regional hospitals and universities.
Daily life here is practical and community focused. Residents enjoy local services, from the county seat in Hallettsville to shopping and dining in Shiner and Yoakum. Outdoor recreation plays a big role, with family events at Lavaca County Exposition Center, fishing and picnics at City Park in Yoakum, and youth sports across the county. Local schools, including Hallettsville ISD and Shiner ISD, help anchor the sense of stability that many buyers seek.
Cultural life is shaped by Central European roots and community gatherings. Residents meet for tours at K. Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, church festivals, and regional events at Knights of Columbus Hall in Hallettsville. County services are easy to navigate through the Lavaca County government portal and city resources from City of Hallettsville and City of Shiner.

“I have known Sarah for many years. I decided to reach out to her because I felt that she was very knowledgeable in the area that I live in. She is a kind person, upholds a high standard or professionalism, and is well-versed in the process that comes with selling a home. She has always been positive, checks in periodically, and is willing to walk you through any questions or concerns you may have.”
“Great person to work with.”
“Jamie was such a great leader through the process! I was personally a bit overwhelmed and anxious about buying my first home but Jamie helped keep things fun and exciting. Having an additional point of contact on her team with Tiya was so helpful to feel like a had a full team working towards my best interests. Definitely would recommend.”
“From beginning to end Julie was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We were moving to Texas from Virginia so her local and state knowledge was invaluable. She presented a good variety of homes that fit our needs in the areas we were interested in and when we chose one she was on top of everything particularly keeping the momentum going with a less responsive seller/seller agent and enabling us to close in a timely manner and at a good price for the area we chose. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants a smooth home buying/selling experience, she is the best we have experienced and we have bought and sold a few houses over the years. Thank you Julie, we love our new home.”
“Dear Justin, dealing with you is a wonderful experience defined by honesty and integrity; I wish you the best of luck and success.”
“Leslie Crittenden went above and beyond to make sure our house sold quickly and for a great price. She staged our empty home with decorator items so the buyers could see how it might look if lived in. Everything she brought was bright and cheery and homey. Her marketing photos and video were exceptional. She walked us through how to fill out all the paperwork, giving advice where needed. She always kept us informed as we went through the process. She advised us on negotiations and fought for a higher appraisal. She “went to bat” for us! She was very compassionate as we emotionally let go of the house we had lived in for 38 years. We were very pleased with her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the selling process. We always felt comfortable with Leslie. She is funny and outgoing, a great listener, encouraging, generous, and kind. It was a pleasure working with her! We would give Leslie the highest recommendation possible.”

“Sandra did an outstanding job helping us sell our family home. From the initial listing through closing, she was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. This transaction presented several challenges along the way, but Sandra remained proactive and worked diligently to keep things moving forward. She was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer practical solutions whenever issues arose. Her communication throughout the process was excellent, and we always felt informed and confident in the next steps. We especially appreciated the extra effort she put into marketing the property, coordinating with all parties involved, and helping navigate the complexities of the transaction. Her dedication and commitment were instrumental in bringing the sale to a successful closing. We are grateful for all of Sandra's hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor who is experienced, responsive, and truly committed to her clients”
“The Messer team was invaluable in guiding me through the purchase of a new home and the sale of my previous home.

From helping coordinate the work needed to get the property ready to list, all the way through closing, he worked incredibly hard on my behalf to make sure the property sold successfully.
