Your questions, answered
Straight answers from North Lakes’s closed transactions.

The median sale closed at $1.06M in Jul 2026, up 32.4% on a year ago. Typical sales ranged $1.06M–$1.06M.
What income do you need to buy here?
At a 6.5% 30-year mortgage with 20% down, the median home runs about $7,556/mo including taxes and HOA — comfortable at a household income around $302k a year, using the 30% rule. Renting instead costs $5,625/mo.
Is now a good time to buy?
10.5 months of inventory points to a buyer’s market. Prices are still climbing, so waiting has a cost.
How fast do homes sell?
About 119 days from listing to contract in Jul 2026. The pace picks up toward June and slows around February.
How much room is there to negotiate?
Not enough closed sales this month to measure — the price-cut chart below is the best proxy.
When is the best time to list?
Closings peak in June and bottom out around February. Listing four to six weeks ahead of the peak historically gets the most eyes.
Is it a good rental investment?
Yield needs at least 3 closed sales and 3 closed leases in a month — this area doesn’t clear that bar yet.
Buying vs renting
Price-to-rent ratio is 15.7 — buying typically starts to beat renting after roughly 5–7 years here.
