Some parts of the Primary market still move much faster than others

The biggest thing to know right now: speed varies a lot by ZIP code. Realtor.com put the U.S. median days on market at 64 days for the week ending October 24, 2026. In the Primary market, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of 35 days in Woodway and 96 days in West for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is a 61-day gap. Your pricing and prep need to match your part of the market, not the average.

How fast homes sold, ZIP by ZIP

The chart below shows median days on market for each ZIP code the Real Estate Data Aggregator tracked. The range is wide. Some areas move well under the national pace. Others sit well above it.

Woodway led the market at 35 days. That is 22 days shorter than the same period in 2025, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Seagoville was close behind at 37 days, down 27 days from a year before. Lorena came in at 47 days, down 26 days.

West, at 96 days, was the slowest of the ZIP codes with a full data set. That is 3 days longer than a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. China Spring sat at 87 days and Hubbard at 88 days.

The fastest ZIP codes up close

Woodway sold fast, but the median price dipped 13.1% from a year before. Speed and price do not always move together. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 110 homes sold there, with 35.3% going under contract within two weeks of listing.

Seagoville was the busiest fast-moving ZIP. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 127 homes sold, up 51.2% from a year before. More than 1 in 4 went under contract within two weeks.

The slower ZIP codes up close

Slower does not mean nothing is selling. It means buyers have more time to decide. Sellers need to price carefully from day one.

West took the longest at 96 days, yet sales volume jumped 140% from a year before. The Real Estate Data Aggregator also shows months of supply fell sharply, down 8.7 months. More homes are moving, just not quickly.

China Spring had the highest median sale price in the market at $525,000, up 72.4% from a year before per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Homes there took 87 days. Higher price points often take longer, and this ZIP is a clear example.

How the whole Primary market looks

Across all ZIP codes, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 852 homes sold and 904 pending sales for the three months ending August 31, 2026. There were 1,384 homes for sale and 1,159 new listings.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported a median of 64 days on market for the week ending October 24, 2026. Several ZIP codes here beat that pace. Several sit well above it. Knowing which side your home falls on matters when you set a price.

What mortgage rates mean for buyers right now

Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60%. Realtor.com noted rates near 7% for the week ending October 24, 2026, and reported they had risen nearly 40 basis points over the prior four weeks. Higher rates slow some buyers down. That can add days to a sale in ZIP codes that are already moving slowly.

One thing stands out in that comparison. West had 42.9% of homes go under contract within two weeks, higher than Woodway's 35.3%. The Real Estate Data Aggregator also shows West's months of supply at just 2.6, well below Woodway's 4.1. So West is slower overall, but homes that do sell are moving with some urgency. Pricing still matters there.
