ZIP 79109 Housing Market & Real Estate Update (Amarillo, TX)

ZIP 79109 (Amarillo, Texas) continues to look more balanced than frantic: prices are holding, marketing times are normalizing, and buyers have room to negotiate if a home is priced above recent comps.

Top takeaways

Recent closed-sale data shows modest year-over-year price growth, with median sale prices around the mid-$200Ks.
Homes are still taking roughly two months to go pending on average, so condition and pricing strategy matter.
Rental asking levels remain firm, which can keep entry-level buyer demand in play.

Market snapshot

On Redfin’s ZIP-level trend page (latest month shown: December 2025), the median sale price is about $239,950, up roughly 4.3% year over year, with 58 median days on market and 116 homes sold for the month.

Realtor.com’s ZIP market dashboard (also showing December 2025) reports a median home value around $257,450, about 46 active listings in its dashboard view, and a median rent around $1,550/month. Meanwhile, its live search results page for 79109 shows roughly 190+ active homes for sale and a median listing price around $249,900. Different sites count inventory differently (and update on different schedules), so treat any single number as directional, not absolute.

Rates and affordability

National mortgage rates moved lower again in Freddie Mac’s weekly survey dated February 19, 2026, with the 30-year fixed averaging 6.01% (and the 15-year fixed at 5.35%). For 79109 buyers, even small rate shifts can change qualifying power, so it is worth re-running your payment math before making an offer.

Starter single-family homes: Use 79109 search filters to scan smaller 2–3 bedroom inventory and compare price-per-square-foot against recent closes.
Move-in-ready vs. project homes: If a home needs roof, HVAC, or foundation work, ask for bids early so repair costs are not a surprise during option/inspection windows.
Rentals: If you are weighing rent vs. buy, track 79109 rental availability alongside mortgage payments to see where the gap is tightening or widening.
