The read

Growth off a small base. Volume more than doubled and closings nearly did, but 2025 was a near standing start. February 2025 had no closings at all. Read this as a market we are building, not a market that doubled.

Terms moved toward buyers. Sale to list 96.6% to 95.3%, median days on market 55.5 to 72. More inventory and more negotiation than a year ago.

Port Aransas is the anchor. 36 of 83 closings and $25.4 million of $53.4 million. Rockport adds 18 more.

Sample sizes. Sale to list price rests on 53 listing side sales this year (25 last year). Days on market rests on 50 (22 last year). Buy side transactions carry no list price or listing record and are excluded from both. That is a workable base for a median.

Source: Kuper Connect closed transactions, pulled 5 September 2026. Period is 1 January to 31 August 2026 and 2025, by close date. Volume counts each closed property once, whether KSIR held one side or both. Sale to list and days on market are listing side only. Records where the contract date precedes the list date, meaning pre-marketed and off market sales, are excluded from days on market. Internal document. Not for client distribution.
