Waco, TX Housing Market 2026: What's Actually Selling Right Now

If you invest in or around Waco, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Waco sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 777
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $255,900
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $189,997 and $344,900

One thing to know about Texas data: Texas is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. Most valuation sites quietly have no closing data here. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly, which is why we can show them at all, and why we track our accuracy publicly instead of asking you to take the number on faith.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 777 closed sales in Waco over the last six months, with a median closing price of $255,900. 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 $189,997 and $344,900. 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 we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Where Waco sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Waco over the last six months, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $189,997 and $344,900. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

The Waco angle

With 777 tracked closings and a $255,900 median, Waco remains one of the lower-priced cities in central Texas. The middle half ran $189,997 to $344,900, a $155,000 band that is fairly tight in absolute terms. Monthly closings moved from 115 in March to 130, 179 and 159 through June. Baylor University and a decade of downtown redevelopment have pulled some neighborhoods well above the citywide median while older sections east and south of the river still close near the lower quartile, which makes the neighborhood chosen more important than the city figure.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. 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 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 and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
