Laredo Homes Take Longer to Sell as Vendors Increase Price Cuts
Average days on market rose to 52 in the second quarter while vendor discounts averaged 4.2 percent on listed properties.
How we reported this
Homes in Laredo spent an average of 52 days on the market during the second quarter of 2026, up from 38 days one year earlier, as more sellers reduced asking prices to attract buyers.
The increase reflects slower buyer traffic in a border market where median listing prices sit at $245,000. Local agents report that 35 percent of active listings now carry reductions, compared with 22 percent in the same period last year. The Webb County Appraisal District recorded 1,184 residential sales through June, a drop of 11 percent from the prior year.
Patterns on McPherson Road and Near TAMIU
Properties along McPherson Road between Del Mar Boulevard and the Laredo Energy Arena have shown the clearest shift. Single-family homes listed in May averaged 61 days on market, with 18 of 27 listings lowered by at least $8,000. Near the Texas A&M International University campus, townhomes built in the early 2000s have required price cuts averaging $12,500 after 45 days, according to records from the Laredo Association of Realtors multiple listing service.
These two corridors account for roughly one-quarter of all current residential inventory. Agents note that buyers are requesting inspections earlier and asking for closing-cost contributions in 42 percent of offers, up from 29 percent last summer.
Next Steps for Buyers and Sellers
Sellers who have not adjusted prices after 30 days should review comparable sales from the Webb County Appraisal District database before the next round of showings. Buyers can target homes listed more than 50 days by contacting agents through the Laredo Association of Realtors and requesting recent appraisal reports. Listings that received cuts in June closed at an average of 3.8 percent below original ask, according to the same service data.
Market observers expect continued pressure through August as new inventory from summer relocations enters the system. Those monitoring specific blocks should check daily updates on the Laredo Association of Realtors portal for fresh reductions.
