The tightest part of Deal of the Week is also one of the busiest

Redfin reported that U.S. home sellers outnumbered buyers by 62.6% in September. That is the national picture. It is not the whole story in Deal of the Week.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted homes sold, supply, and speed across four ZIP codes here for the three months ending August 31, 2026. The numbers split sharply by ZIP code. One part of Deal of the Week is moving fast. Another is sitting longer. Your next move depends on which side you are on.

The national backdrop

Redfin counted 1,510,784 home sellers in the U.S. in September, the most since March 2020. It counted only 928,892 buyers, the lowest since 2013. Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 15, 2026. That rate is pushing monthly payments up. Realtor.com reported a typical U.S. listing price of $415,000 for the week ending October 10, 2026, with homes sitting a median of 61 days.

That is the national pressure. Now look at what the Real Estate Data Aggregator found here.

ZIP 76691: the tightest and one of the busiest

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted just 20 homes for sale in ZIP 76691 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 45.9% from the same months of 2025. Supply fell to 2.6 months. That is lean. Pending sales rose 50% year over year, to 21. Nearly 43 in 100 homes went under contract within two weeks of listing.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 24 homes sold in 76691 in that period, up 140% from the same months of 2025. The median sale price held at $247,500, unchanged from a year before. Homes averaged 96 days on market, 3 days longer than a year ago. Not every home sold fast. But the ones that were priced right moved quickly. Nearly 8 in 100 sold above list price, up 8.3 points year over year.

ZIP 76705: fast and rising

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 73 homes sold in ZIP 76705 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 40.4% from a year before. The median sale price rose 5.5% to $247,500. Homes for sale fell 18.8%. Supply sat at 4.4 months, down 3.1 months from last year.

Exactly 40% of homes in 76705 went under contract within two weeks of listing, up 15.3 points year over year. Nearly 2 in 10 sold above list price, up 9.6 points. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale-to-list ratio at 98.6%, up 0.6 points. That is a market where well-priced homes are drawing real competition.

ZIP 76655: moving faster, price dipped a little

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 74 homes sold in ZIP 76655 in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 5.7% from a year before. The median sale price dipped 4% to $305,000. That is a small step back. But homes sold 26 days faster than the same period last year, with a median of 47 days on market.

Supply fell to 3.7 months, down 0.6 months. New listings rose 22.5% to 98, giving buyers more to look at. The sale-to-list ratio reached 98.1%, up 0.7 points. Pending sales fell 12.2%, which is worth watching. Still, 23.6% of homes went under contract within two weeks, up 9 points from a year before.

ZIP 76692: more listings, slower pace

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 63 homes sold in ZIP 76692 in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 21.2%. The median sale price was nearly flat at $315,000, down just 0.1%. Supply stood at 4.5 months, the highest of the four ZIPs. Homes sat a median of 72 days, 2 days longer than a year before.

New listings fell 14.3% to 78. Only 17.1% of homes went under contract within two weeks, down 9.2 points. Pending sales rose 22.8%. This ZIP is active, but buyers have a little more room to breathe.

How the four ZIP codes compare

The whole market together

Across all four ZIP codes, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 234 homes sold in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 27.2% from a year before. Homes for sale totaled 305, down 23.6%. New listings came in at 284, down 4.1%. Pending sales reached 233, up 3.1%.

The national story, told by Redfin, is one of too many sellers and too few buyers. The Deal of the Week story is more layered. Supply is tightest in 76691. Speed is high in both 76691 and 76705. Prices dipped a little in 76655 and barely moved in 76692. No single headline covers all four.

These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. They are the most recent counts the Real Estate Data Aggregator has for this market. Conditions on your street may look different from the ZIP code as a whole.
