Featured Property:
Established neighborhood. Spacious lot. Functional layout. 1310 Sailfish Drive offers solid bones in a location that makes daily life easy — close to schools, shopping, dining, and the coast. A well-rounded opportunity in a market where correctly priced homes are still moving.
Tip of the Week: Days on market is data, not a deadline.
A listing that's been on the market 60, 70, or 90 days isn't necessarily a problem property — in Bay City's current market, 73 days is the average. What it does mean is that the seller has had time to recalibrate expectations. For buyers, a longer DOM listing is often the best negotiating position in the room. Before you skip past it, ask why it's still there — the answer is usually price, and that's a conversation worth having.
Bay City Property Group remains committed to providing clear market insight and professional guidance to buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Matagorda County.

Rates edged up this week with the 30-year fixed at 6.66% and FHA at 6.25% — modest movement, but enough to keep buyers deliberate and affordability a continued challenge.
Inventory continues to climb at 141 active listings and 6 months of supply, holding Bay City firmly in balanced market territory. Neither buyers nor sellers hold a dominant edge, but inventory is building across most price bands.
For buyers, the most opportunity sits in the $200K–$300K range where inventory is deepest at 60 homes. Sellers pricing to the market are closing deals — those who aren't are sitting at 73 days on average.
