San Agustin Leads Laredo Suburbs With Strongest Home Price Gains

San Agustin recorded a 14 percent rise in median sale prices between January and June 2026, outpacing every other Laredo neighbourhood tracked by the Webb County Appraisal District.

Buyers priced out of Del Mar and Santa Rita have shifted to San Agustin, where single-family homes still trade under $200,000 on average. The shift comes as national headlines about trade disruptions and defence spending raise questions about long-term stability in border markets, prompting local investors to favour established residential pockets with steady rental demand.

Properties along Guadalupe Street and the blocks east of the Laredo College Fort McIntosh campus have seen the fastest turnover. The Webb County Housing Rehabilitation Program completed roof and electrical upgrades on 47 San Agustin homes last quarter, and the Laredo Chamber of Commerce listed the area as a target zone for its small-business facade grant in May. Residents point to quick commutes across the Juárez-Lincoln Bridge and proximity to the new 1,200-unit workforce housing project on Zaragoza Street as reasons for the sustained interest.

County records show the median sale price in San Agustin reached $192,450 through June 2026, up from $168,800 at the end of 2025. Neighbouring Del Mar posted a 9 percent gain over the same period with a median of $248,300, while Santa Rita rose 7 percent to $231,000. Days on market in San Agustin averaged 28, eight days shorter than the Laredo-wide figure.

Next steps for buyers and landlords

Local agents advise locking in inspections before the start of the new school year, when families typically begin searching. The Webb County Appraisal District opens its online protest window on 15 July, and several San Agustin listings already carry pre-approval letters from Texas National Bank. Investors tracking rental yields note that three-bedroom homes near the college currently lease for $1,375 to $1,450, producing cap rates above 7 percent after the recent price run-up.
