East Texas Real Estate Market Update (September 2023)

Tips for BuyersTips for Sellers
Written By Kristin Koonce, REALTOR®

Here's the latest ETX real estate market update for the month of September:

  • Average Sales Price: $284k (this is up from $277k in August)

  • Average Days on Market: 63

  • Number of Closed Sales: 56

  • Months of Inventory: 3.2 (compared to 2.0 in September 2022)

  • Price Distribution:

    • $0-$99,999 (1.9%)

    • $100,000-$199,999 (11.3%)

    • $200,000-$299,999 (43.4%)

    • $300,000-$399,999 (22.6%)

    • $400,000-$499,999 (3.8%)

    • $500,000-$749,999 (15.1%)

    • $750,000-$999,999 (1.9%)

    • $1,000,000+ (0.0%)

Homes above $400k are taking longer to sell. If your home is in the $200,000-$299,999 price range...you are in a very hot spot! If you're not sure what the market says your house is worth and find yourself feeling curious, tell me about your home and I'll see what price point you'd be looking at if you decide to list within the next few weeks.

Who have you spoken to in the last few weeks that has mentioned selling/buying a home? You can share my number with them OR you can send me their information here. They can also fill out my Buyer's Intake Form or Seller's Intake Form and then I'll take it from there.

Thank you soooo very much for being in my corner and for sending referrals my way. I cannot stress enough that your referrals, support, and encouragement are what make my business go-round. I couldn't do it without you! Even if you are not personally looking to buy or sell a house, every time you learn of someone else who is and share my information with them, you are supporting my business and mission.

Just as a reminder, I read a quote once that really resonated with me and the way I view real estate:

“This is your ministry. You can speak life into others and offer a different dialogue in this industry. You can let people know they are seen, valued, and cared for, and you can bring a different atmosphere when you go into a room.” —Author Unknown

So, when I say you are supporting my business and mission...know that you are helping me share the gifts and talents God has given me and giving me the undeserving opportunity to love others in a way that feels very fitting to how God made me! I never want to be your "average" real estate agent!

Enjoy your day and thanks for everything!

Let’s make your listing FAMOUS!

My name is Kristin Koonce, and I’m a one-of-a-kind East Texas listing agent with BOLD Real Estate Group, proudly serving Longview, White Oak, Hallsville, Tyler, and surrounding East Texas communities. I specialize in helping homeowners and land owners see the value and potential in what they already own—and using creativity, strategy, and heart to bring that vision to life.

I’m not your average real estate agent. I stepped into this business boldly because I believe real estate should be done differently—with integrity, intention, and a genuine love for people. I focus on building long-term relationships, staying connected long after the sale, and empowering my clients to make smart, confident financial decisions about their homes and land across East Texas.

My business is built on one simple philosophy—love people well. Every client matters. Every story matters. When you work with me, you’ll never feel like just another transaction. I treat each client as if they were my only one—because trust is earned, and results should follow. My goal is for clients to walk away saying:

“Working with Kristin is better than trying to do this alone.”

I’m known for being creative, proactive, strategic, and detail-oriented. I think ahead, solve problems quickly, communicate clearly, and handle the behind-the-scenes work others avoid. I operate with kindness, professionalism, punctuality, and grace, collaborating seamlessly with agents, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, and title companies to ensure smooth transactions.

If you’re looking for a trusted listing agent in White Oak, Longview, Hallsville, or anywhere in East Texas, I’m here to help. I’m an active member of the Longview MLS, Tyler MLS, and MetroTex, and I specialize in selling residential land, acreage, inherited properties, fixer-uppers, and family homes.

Whether your property is full of memories, potential, or possibilities—I can help you sell it with confidence and care.

I don’t just list properties…I SELL THEM! #getlistinwithkristin
