Decatur, TX Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

In a market the size of Decatur, individual sales move the needle. The figures below rest on 110 tracked closings over the last 12 months, so read them as the direction of the market rather than a precise price for any one street.

The snapshot

  • •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 110
  • •Median sold price, last 12 months: $332,795 (low-volume sample)
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $190
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $275,000 and $359,000
One thing to know about Texas data: Texas is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 110 closed sales in Decatur over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $332,795. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $275,000 and $359,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 96% of the Decatur closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 109 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $171 and $212 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Decatur over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $275,000 and $359,000. Among the 129 Texas markets with a published band, Decatur's middle-half spread ($275,000 to $359,000) ranks 11th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

  • •Listed to under contract: a median of 40 days, across 90 Decatur closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 21 days, across 90 Decatur closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 110 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Decatur angle

Decatur's tracked record for the last 12 months comes to 110 closings with a median sale price of $332,795. That midpoint is the most honest single number we can publish for the city: it is set by actual closed transactions, and it splits them exactly in half. It is also, by construction, silent on everything else, including how far individual Decatur sales landed from it, so resist translating it directly into a value for a specific property. Closed sales matched to the property remain the only defensible basis for a number. The median's job is narrower and still useful: telling you whether that number describes the market Decatur buyers actually paid in.

From market read to offer price

A thin market punishes generic pricing; the way to firm up a number here is the specific property and its handful of true comps. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Texas: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Texas homes, and most Texas estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Texas one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Decatur address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records. This is a low-volume sample: treat the statistics as directional rather than precise estimates of the entire local market.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Decatur over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. This is a low-volume market: the figures below rest on 110 closings within the Decatur city limits, so treat the median as indicative rather than precise.

How many homes sold in Decatur last month?

Resideline has tracked 5 closed sales in Decatur in September 2026 so far, out of 110 closings tracked over the last 12 months. The most recent month keeps filling in for several weeks as closings are recorded, so this count will rise. These are tracked samples of market activity, not official county totals.

What is the typical sale price range in Decatur?

What is the typical price per square foot in Decatur?

Among qualifying Decatur closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median sold price per square foot was $190, measured across 109 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

Does the Decatur median mean half the homes in town are worth more than $332,795?

No. It means half of the closings we tracked in the last 12 months priced above that figure, which is a statement of what sold, not of every home in Decatur. Homes that did not transact are not in the data, so apply the median to market context and use matched closed sales for any individual valuation.
