Corpus Christi, TX housing market

In Corpus Christi, sellers are asking about two hundred thirty thousand dollars for homes typically worth just over one hundred eighty-three thousand dollars. That gap explains most of what is happening in this market, and it matters if you plan to sell this year. There are about one thousand eight hundred homes for sale right now, and fresh supply is coming in slowly, with only around 370 new listings this month. Even so, buyers are not rushing. The typical home here takes 84 days to sell, nearly three months of waiting. And about 21 percent of listings, more than one in five, have already cut their asking price. But here is the turn. Home values are actually up about 1.7 percent over the past year, so this is not a falling market. It is a standoff, where owners price high, sit, and then cut. The practical move is to price close to real value from day one, not at the number neighbors are asking. Overpricing here costs you months and usually ends in a cut anyway.
