Scurry Market Trends
Acreage and Elbow Room East of Dallas
Scurry's housing stock reads like a catalog for rural self-sufficiency. Listings routinely sit on three to ten acres with cross-fenced pastures, livestock barns, and detached workshops large enough to park a tractor fleet. You'll find everything from Jim Walters-era brick homes to 2025 new construction with tray ceilings and granite, often sharing a price band because the land carries as much value as the house. Double-wide manufactured homes on pecan-studded lots trade alongside custom builds with wrap-around porches and wood-burning fireplaces. Pond-fed ranches and ag-exempt tracts round out a market built for people who want dirt under their boots.
While Kaufman County's price per square foot held near $156 this quarter, Scurry pulled further ahead at roughly $214 — based on MLS data for 2026-09 closings in Scurry, a premium of about a third that has persisted through the year. The median sale price, close to $380,000, ran about a quarter above the county's figure. Homes here took roughly four months to close, more than double the county's six-week pace, even as sellers gave back a touch more ground than a year ago. Concessions appeared in half of transactions here, a smaller share than the county's roughly seven in ten. With only about a dozen closings this quarter, the county comparison anchors an otherwise thin sample.
Against Kaufman County's broader pipeline, Scurry's supply overhang stands out: months of supply run near 14, nearly double the county's roughly eight, while the pending-to-active ratio trails the countywide rate — just a handful of the market's 57 active listings carry signed contracts, a thinner share than typical across the county. New listings kept arriving at a pace well above what those few pending deals can absorb, a slower velocity signal pointing toward inventory the broader county is clearing faster.

While Kaufman County's price per square foot held near $156 this quarter, Scurry pulled further ahead at roughly $214 — based on MLS data for 2026-09 closings in Scurry, a premium of about a third that has persisted through the year.

Against Kaufman County's broader pipeline, Scurry's supply overhang stands out: months of supply run near 14, nearly double the county's roughly eight, while the pending-to-active ratio trails the countywide rate — just a handful of the market's 57 active listings carry signed contracts, a thinner share than typical across the county. New listings kept arriving at a pace well above what those few pending deals can absorb, a slower velocity signal pointing toward inventory the broader county is clearing faster.
Homes that closed in Scurry this quarter moved off the market markedly faster than the extended timelines of early summer, based on MLS data for 2026-08 closings in Scurry — a reversal from the roughly three-months-plus absorption windows that defined the spring and early-summer readings. Price per square foot eased to roughly $228, still well above the Kaufman County benchmark of about $159 but off the peak posted last quarter. Median sale price settled near $364,000. Sellers accepted price breaks in about half of transactions, a somewhat higher share than earlier this year, while list-to-sale ratios stayed strong at nearly 98 cents on the dollar. With only 16 closings, directional confidence is limited but consistent with county patterns.
Scurry's pipeline offers a mixed read on this quarter's faster closings. Active inventory held essentially flat at 58 homes while pending contracts stayed thin at just three, keeping months of supply elevated near 11 — modestly above the roughly nine posted last quarter, and well ahead of Kaufman County's under-nine reading. New listing activity of 38 properties outpaced the handful of homes going under contract by a wide margin. Directionally, faster time-to-close hasn't yet translated into a tighter pipeline; with pending counts this thin, the read carries real uncertainty and bears watching against county absorption trends.
Price per square foot in Scurry reached roughly $248 this quarter — based on MLS data for 2026-07 closings in Scurry — more than half again the $159 recorded across Kaufman County, one of the widest premiums the town has posted against the countywide benchmark. Median sale price followed suit, landing near $389,000, roughly a quarter above the county's median. Homes here nonetheless took nearly three times as long to close as the county average, even as concession rates ran below the countywide norm: sellers offered price breaks in roughly four in ten sales here, versus about two in three countywide. With just 19 closings this quarter, the comparison against Kaufman County's much larger sample carries real weight.
Scurry's supply pipeline looks less exceptional than its closed-sale figures: at roughly 9.5 months of supply, the town's overhang is only modestly above Kaufman County's, a gap far narrower than the divergence in closed prices and market times would suggest. Active listings held at 60 while pending contracts thinned to just a handful, tracking a pending-to-active ratio close to the countywide rate rather than a meaningfully different one. New listings kept pace at a similar rate to the broader county, pointing toward a pipeline that, for now, is converging with countywide norms even as closed-transaction metrics continue to diverge.
Homes that closed in Scurry during the latest quarter sat on the market for nearly four months before finding a buyer — based on MLS data for 2026-06 closings in Scurry — roughly double the pace recorded across the trailing year. Price per square foot held at roughly $236, about 15 percent above the annual baseline of $205, while the median sale price reached approximately $390,000. With only 20 closings in the sample, directional confidence is moderate, but the extended absorption time points to a market where buyers are taking their time. Sellers in roughly a third of transactions accepted a price below list, and no closed sale came in above asking in the recent quarter.
The pipeline signals an abrupt deceleration in buyer commitment: pending contracts in Scurry fell to just 10 — a sharp retreat from the 45 under agreement in the trailing year — even as active inventory held steady at 57 homes. New listing volume of roughly 35 properties over the quarter outpaced contracts at a wide ratio, extending months of supply to roughly nine. The supply-demand imbalance at the pipeline level suggests that whatever momentum existed earlier in the cycle has not carried into mid-year.
The gap between list and sale prices in Scurry widened meaningfully in the most recent quarter, with sellers receiving roughly seven cents less per dollar of asking price than the trailing-year average — based on MLS data for 2026-05 closings in Scurry. Price per square foot climbed to roughly $236, notably above the Kaufman County benchmark of about $154, yet homes spent nearly five months on market at closing, more than double the county's pace. With only a modest sample of closings this quarter, the directional signal is clear even if precision is limited: the negotiation gap is expanding as buyers extract more ground at the table.
The pipeline in Scurry tells a sharper story than closed sales alone: active listings held steady at 53 while pending contracts fell to single digits — a ratio that points toward a widening absorption gap heading into summer. New listing activity of roughly 31 homes over the quarter outpaced contracts going under agreement by a wide margin, extending the months of supply to nearly ten. The directionally thin pending count suggests that demand has not kept pace with available supply, a condition that, if sustained, could further pressure negotiation dynamics in the months ahead.
