“Kristine was very nice and got things done in a timely manner. I was disappointed when a closing cost was added to us when when we were told the closing cost went to the seller and we were the buyer.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Rains County has thinned slightly, with active listings down about 9 percent month over month and nearly 6 percent year over year to 92 homes, yet supply has expanded sharply to 14.3 months, far above the roughly 5.7 months seen across Texas. Contract activity has cooled, as homes sold dropped 57 percent from last month and about 23 percent from a year ago, while pending sales fell nearly 46 percent month over month and about 45 percent year over year.
Pricing is sending mixed signals in this slower environment. The typical home value has surged roughly 29 percent compared with last year, but the median list price is down about 8 percent year over year and more than 35 percent from last month, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations to meet current demand.
Days on market tell a nuanced story, with the median time to sell falling to 61 days, a drop of about 9 percent from last month and more than 50 percent from a year ago, even as the area registers as a strong buyer’s market. A local Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional can help buyers interpret these shifting conditions and help sellers price strategically, so both sides can navigate the Rains County market with confidence.

“I’ve sold a few houses along the way but this sale had new complications. It was out of state and had belonged to my Aunt who passed away last summer. Every part of this deal had to be handled over the phone, text or email. Meredith Ruiz was a true professional. She was punctual and knowledgeable along every step of the process. She also was a pleasure to speak with. She almost always answered the phone and was accessible at all times. Her attitude and great communication were exactly what I needed to get the house sold. I would recommend her to anyone and if I am ever in Texas again I would bring her more business. Thanks Meredith.”

EXP Realty
“Tyon is an outstanding realtor and grateful and thankful that we got to work with him. I've been trying to sell my home for almost 2 years before working with him and out of the realtors that I've had, he did the most for us. He is all about his clients and makes sure to have their best interests at heart. He helped us with any repairs that could be done at the house so there wasn't any extra expense on our end, plus he ripped out the carpet for us so we could get it replaced. For things he couldn't do himself, we was always trying to find the least expensive solution for it. He was very knowledgeable in his field and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help us get our house sold!”
eXp Realty
“I have known Cindy for some time. I had no hesitation in selecting Cindy for our home search. I knew she would put forth her greatest effort and we were not disappointed and greatly pleased with the hard work and commitment she presented in the search for our new home. Cindy did a great job!”
Ready Real Estate
“Becky was very polite and accommodating throughout the entire looking and once we landed on a house. Since we were out of town, she went out of her way to record neighborhoods and FaceTime houses that we were interested in. One of those visits ultimately resulted in my husband and I closing on a house. ”
ARC Realty DFW
“I was skeptical at first about the things she wanted me to do for the sale of my home, however I followed her instructions and my house sold. Thanks Laurie!”
