ZIP 78834 (Carrizo Springs, TX) Housing Market & Real Estate Update

ZIP 78834 (Carrizo Springs, Texas) is still a small-market story: limited supply, longer sell times, and price signals that depend on which dataset you watch. If you are shopping or selling this spring, the big swing factor is financing cost, not a sudden surge of local inventory.

Top takeaways

Median pricing is hovering in the mid-$160Ks, with recent trackers clustering around roughly $164K to $170K.
Active inventory looks limited (on the order of a few dozen listings), so one or two new listings can noticeably change the mix.
Homes are generally not selling above ask, and negotiation leverage appears to be with buyers in many cases.
Mortgage rates have eased again in February, which can improve affordability even if prices hold steady.

Market snapshot

Realtor.com’s ZIP-level dashboard for 78834 shows a median home sale price of about $164,000 and roughly 32 homes for sale. It also notes a year-over-year increase in days on market, a sign that properties are taking longer to move and buyers may have more time to compare options.

Redfin’s 78834 housing market page paints a similarly cool picture: it rates the market as not very competitive and indicates homes are typically selling a few percent under list. Redfin’s listing pages currently show a couple dozen homes in the ZIP, which is consistent with the idea that supply is tight but not nonexistent.

Rates watch (why this matters locally)

Freddie Mac’s weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey recently reported the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate around 6.01% (week of February 19, 2026). For buyers in a price band like 78834, even small rate moves can change the monthly payment enough to widen or shrink the pool of qualified buyers.
