Supply Gauge
Inventory Stabilizing
Inventory levels are stabilizing relative to the pace of sales, with months of inventory indicating a more balanced market environment where supply and demand are more aligned.
Selective but Active
Buyers remain engaged, particularly in entry-level and mid-range price points, but are becoming more selective as pricing and condition continue to influence decision-making.
Negotiation Still Present
With homes averaging around 95% of list price, buyers are continuing to negotiate, especially on properties that are not aligned with current market expectations.

Tip of the Week for Sellers: Pricing From Day One.
The first few days on the market are the most important. This is when your home receives the highest level of exposure and attracts the most serious buyers.
In today’s Bay City market, buyers have more options and are taking more time to decide. If your home is not priced correctly from the start, it risks being overlooked during this critical window.
Positioning your home correctly from day one helps capture attention early and gives you the best chance at a clean sale.
PROPERTY GROUP
Bay City Property Group remains committed to providing clear market insight and professional guidance to buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Matagorda County. Our goal with each Broker’s Post is to offer a concise snapshot of local housing trends so our community can make confident real estate decisions.
This past week, 15 new listings came to market while only 4 went pending. That gap is what’s pushing inventory higher across Bay City and slowing absorption. At the same time, 5 homes closed — and they’re still closing near asking price at a 94.93% list-to-sale ratio.
Over the 6 months trend, price per square foot has moved down to $128, and days on market remain elevated. This is not a drop in demand — it’s the result of increased inventory giving buyers more leverage and more time to decide.
The separation is clear across Matagorda County. Homes that are priced correctly are still moving. Homes that miss the market are sitting longer and contributing to the growing inventory.
