Venus Home Values

For the second consecutive month, transaction speed in Venus quickened, with homes closing in a median of roughly 32 days, down from the low 40s reported last month and well under the trailing-year average of 56. Based on MLS data for 2026-09 closings in Venus, TX, price per square foot held near $178, little changed from recent months, while sellers continued collecting just under 97 cents on the dollar and fielding concessions on nearly eight in ten transactions. With 71 closings behind the window, the read is directional rather than definitive, though the pace stands well ahead of Johnson County's trailing-quarter median of 47 days.

Pipeline signals move in step with the quickening pace of recent closings: pending contracts rose to 15 from 10 a quarter earlier, even as new listings held a steady pace near 131, nudging months of supply down slightly to about seven, a narrower cushion than Johnson County's roughly eight. Active inventory stayed flat near 172 homes. Coming off a moderate base, the shift reads as directional rather than settled, but accelerating contract activity alongside a tightening supply measure points toward a market absorbing homes somewhat faster than it was last quarter.

While Johnson County sellers granted concessions on roughly six in ten closings this quarter, nearly eight in ten transactions in Venus included one — a gap that has held steady even as the town's price per square foot ran a few dollars above the county's median. Based on MLS data for 2026-08 closings in Venus, TX, homes here changed hands in about 40 days, roughly two weeks faster than the county's median close time, and sellers still collected close to 97 cents on the dollar. The combination — quicker turnaround, elevated concessions — marks a continuation of the divergence from county norms that has defined recent quarters.

On the pipeline side, Venus's supply position tracks closely with Johnson County's broader pattern — roughly seven and a half months of supply against the county's near eight, a narrower gap than what shows up in closed sales. New listings continued arriving well ahead of pending contracts, 125 against just 10, a wider imbalance than the county's own ratio, suggesting the town's tighter-than-county closed-sale performance hasn't yet carried through to a proportionally tighter active pipeline.

Reversing four straight months of quickening turnaround, homes in Venus spent a median 51 days on the market before closing this quarter — a jump from the 44-day pace reported in June and above the trailing-year average of 57. Based on MLS data for 2026-07 closings in Venus, TX, price per square foot held near $185, essentially flat against the $189 mark logged last month. Sellers continued fielding concessions on nearly eight in ten transactions, though the average payout eased to roughly $8,400 from last month's $10,000. List-to-sale performance stayed steady, with sellers collecting just under 97 cents on the dollar — a figure barely moved from June.

Pending contracts thinned sharply this quarter, dropping to 18 from roughly 37 in June, while new listings held their pace near 117 — a combination that pushes months of supply up to about seven, from six and a half last month. Active inventory barely moved, holding near 174 homes, but with fewer buyers stepping into contract against a steady flow of new supply, the absorption pace looks meaningfully slower entering the back half of summer than it did a month ago.
