Greenbriar & Inwood Keep Pulling the Market — Land Supply Still Flooding Options

Market Pulse: Inventory remains two-speed: move-in ready and newly built homes in the $400k–$600k band are selling fast; raw land and large-acreage parcels are plentiful and sitting longer. Low days-on-market for several new builds shows buyers are focused on turnkey product, while investors and developers continue to shop acreage — but those parcels are taking more time to convert to sales.

Key Insight from today's listings:

• New construction and recent builds in Inwood and Greenbriar are the standout movers: listings at 10502 Greenbriar ($579k, DOM 4), 11334 Inwood ($455k, DOM 9), 11492 Inwood ($469k, DOM 9), and several 2024–2026 builds under $600k show strong, immediate interest. That cluster is confirming buyer demand for modern floorplans on modest lots.
• By contrast, acreage and raw lots (multiple Deerwood, FM 1774, Cox Ln listings) provide opportunity but show long DOM (several 100+ days), which creates negotiating leverage for well-qualified buyers or patient investors.
• Mid-range resale homes that are staged and priced competitively — like 11759 W Hollyhill ($299,999, 5bd) and recently reduced/quick DOM homes in the $400k–$650k range — are still drawing attention quickly.

My Advice: For sellers: If you’re in Greenbriar, Inwood, or have a recently updated home in the $400k–$600k window, now’s the time to market aggressively. Price to the neighborhood, stage for photos, and highlight new-construction-quality finishes — buyers are paying for move-in readiness. For acreage or raw-land sellers, be realistic on timing and price; consider carrying costs or a modest price sweetener to attract a quicker close.

For buyers: If you want a modern, low-maintenance home, be decisive — inventory in the $400k–$600k segment turns fast. Have financing pre-approval in hand, and be ready to waive low-risk contingencies when appropriate (after inspection) to be competitive. If you’re targeting land or large acreage, use the current surplus to negotiate favorable terms and extended closing timelines.
