Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Year-over-year, Zapata County shows sharp price swings and slower sales activity. The typical home value is up strongly compared with last year, while median list prices have climbed more than 60 percent. At the same time, both homes sold and pending sales are down steeply from a year ago, highlighting weaker demand.
In the latest monthly snapshot for July 2026, only one home sold and just one went under contract. Inventory is substantial, with 36 active listings and an extremely high 31.5 months of supply, far above the Texas average of 5.8 months, underscoring very strong leverage for buyers. Median days on market has fallen from earlier in the year but is still lengthy at 174 days, showing that listings often sit for months before finding a buyer.
Recent month-to-month data illustrates how volatile a small market can be. Median sale price surged from around $65,700 in June to about $473,600 in July, while closed sales dropped from four to one over the same period. New listings eased to four for the month, down from six in June and well below the January spike, suggesting sellers may be more cautious. With no recent sales closing above list price and conditions firmly in buyer’s market territory, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these dynamics.
