If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Lufkin, Nacogdoches, or the surrounding East Texas area, September’s numbers offer a helpful look at what’s happening close to home.
Angelina County saw more closed sales and fewer active listings compared to September last year, while Nacogdoches County reported a higher median sales price alongside fewer closings. These differences are a good reminder that real estate is local—and the right strategy starts with understanding your market.
Here’s a closer look at the September 2026 housing market and what it could mean for your next move.
Angelina County: More Sales and Fewer Homes Available
Angelina County’s median home price was $260,500, essentially unchanged from September 2025, with a reported difference of just 0.1%.
Closed sales increased 14%, while active listings fell 22% compared to the same month last year.
| Market Measure | September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Median home price | $260,500 |
| Active listings | 322 |
| Closed sales | 57 |
| Days on market | 99 |
| Days to close | 36 |
| Total days | 135 |
| Months of inventory | 5.2 |
Months of inventory decreased from 7.2 in September 2025 to 5.2 this September, pointing to a tighter supply relative to the pace of sales.
For buyers: Homes are still selling, and fewer available listings may mean fewer choices in some neighborhoods or price ranges. Getting your financing lined up and knowing your priorities can help you act confidently when the right home becomes available.
For sellers: Increased sales activity is encouraging, but presentation and pricing still matter. With 99 reported days on market, it’s wise to prepare for a process that may take some time and price your home using recent, comparable sales.
Nacogdoches County: Higher Median Price, Fewer Closings
Nacogdoches County’s median home price reached $277,500, an 18.2% increase compared to September 2025. Active listings increased 7.1%, while closed sales declined 50%.
| Market Measure | September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Median home price | $277,500 |
| Active listings | 170 |
| Closed sales | 25 |
| Days on market | 86 |
| Days to close | 38 |
| Total days | 124 |
| Months of inventory | 4.6 |
Months of inventory edged up from 4.4 last September to 4.6 this year.
A higher median price does not mean every home increased in value by 18.2%. The median is the midpoint of the homes sold, and it can change depending on the mix of properties that closed during the month.
For buyers: More active listings may give you additional options to explore. Your negotiating position will depend on the individual property, its price, condition, and how long it has been available.
For sellers: The higher median price is worth watching, but fewer closings make thoughtful pricing especially important. Your home’s value should be based on comparable properties and current competition.
