Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Starr County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Starr County is seeing a relatively slow but active flow of homes. There were 83 homes on the market in March 2026, with 19 new listings and 12 going under contract. Inventory has eased compared to last year, with supply down 18.63 percent year over year and 5.68 percent from the prior month, and a months-of-supply figure of 6.4 points to a clear buyer’s market.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions, and homes are taking time to sell. The typical home value sits at $249,999, while the median list price is higher at $280,000, and homes are spending a median of 135 days on the market even after a sharp 40.27 percent drop from the prior month and a 221.43 percent rise over the past year.
Sellers are giving buyers some room to negotiate, with only about 7.69 percent of homes selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio at roughly 96.10 percent. At the same time, 15.66 percent of listings saw a price drop, showing that some sellers are adjusting expectations as buyers compare value to the statewide typical home value of $342,400. With Starr County firmly labeled as a buyer’s market at a gauge of 69, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Starr County offers its residents a warm, family-friendly community with rich cultural heritage, welcoming neighborhoods, and growing opportunities in outdoor recreation, education, and small-business development.
Starr County offers a distinct sense of place compared with larger, faster growing neighbors like Hidalgo County. Here, communities such as Rio Grande City and Roma hold onto longstanding traditions while gradually adding new retail, dining, and housing options. Daily life often centers on family, schools, and celebrations that highlight the county’s deep borderland heritage.
Residents enjoy local landmarks like the historic district in Rio Grande City, the riverfront views near Roma, and outdoor time at Falcon State Park. Cultural and community events, often hosted around downtown plazas or school campuses, help maintain close ties among neighbors. The Rio Grande City Consolidated Independent School District and Roma Independent School District are central to community pride and Friday night gatherings.
Everyday conveniences are complemented by regional access to larger employment and shopping corridors along US 83, with easy trips toward Laredo or deeper into the Rio Grande Valley. Local resources like the Starr County Memorial Hospital and the Rio Grande City Public Library support both long time residents and newcomers.

“Courtney was excellent! When my mind was everywhere she was on top of things, and she was 8 months pregnant! She was determined to get everything done in a timely matter. She was kind and patient and I appreciate her professionalism...”
“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.”
“Brandee and her team were A-1 along the entire home selling process. We actually met with and interviewed 4 other realestate agencies along the way. However, from the first time that we met to the day we closed on our house we always felt good and comfortable. At times the home selling process can become very frustrating and stressful and along the way we ended up having one of those very challenging buyers. The kind of buyer that can make you feel like not wanting to deal with them. However, I felt that our realestate team kept the buyer and there realtor in check, yet at the same time being very professional along the way and made sure that we stayed focused on the end in mind of selling our home. I could not imagine what the outcome would of been if we would of chosen a different realestate group with less experience. Thank all of you again. Gary Z”
