Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Tool’s rolling three-month numbers show a mixed picture compared with a year ago. Typical home values are up around 9% year over year, even as the median list price has dropped by more than a quarter. At the same time, months of supply has nearly tripled, signaling a much looser inventory environment than this time last year.
Looking more closely at the latest rolling period through May 2026, buyers are seeing a typical home value around $298,000 with a median list price near $322,000. There is notable selection with about 80 active listings and 46 new listings entering the market over the period.
Homes are taking longer to sell overall, with a median of 56 days on market and only about 24% going off the market in two weeks, though they are still generally selling at roughly 94% of list price. The share of homes selling above asking is modest at just over 8%, and months of supply sits high at 13.8, giving buyers more negotiating power even though conditions are still labeled a seller’s market. Whether you are a buyer trying to make sense of shifting prices or a seller aiming to stand out in a slower-moving market, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends and can help you move forward confidently.
Learn more about what Tool has to offer.
Tool offers residents a warm, close-knit community with convenient parks, local services, and engaging events that make everyday life feel connected and thriving.
Tool stands apart from nearby Cedar Creek Lake communities with its quieter, more close-knit feel and easy access to open water. Residents appreciate that Tool offers a slower pace than busier spots like Gun Barrel City, while still keeping shopping, dining, and services within a short drive.
Life here centers on the lake. Public access points and marinas, including Tool City Park, give locals a place to launch a boat, fish, or enjoy a shaded picnic. Families value the connection to Malakoff Independent School District, with campuses that support small-town traditions and Friday night lights. For quick errands and casual meals, residents often head across the bridge toward Kaufman County or into Athens for larger grocery runs and medical services.
Community events, volunteer groups, and local churches provide ways to get involved and meet neighbors. The nearby Cedar Creek Reservoir draws anglers and weekend visitors, while long-term residents tend to know one another by name. Tool’s city government maintains useful resources and updates through the official city website, which helps residents stay informed about ordinances, improvements, and local services.
Because the market here can shift with lake levels, vacation demand, and regional growth, timing your move matters. Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers in Tool with an agent who understands seasonal trends, pricing, and preparation so you are ready when the right opportunity appears.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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.”
