West El PasoHow is the El Paso real estate market?
Resale homes in El Paso sold for $156 per square foot in October 2026, within 1.5% of the September 2026 high of $157, so prices have been flat since May 2026, and 3.7% above a year earlier. The typical sale price over August to October 2026 was $295,000. Homes are averaging 73 days on market, with 624 sales closing in the latest month. Resale sellers got 96.5% of their original asking price. Measured against the final list price instead, after any price cuts, the same sales read 98.4%. Citywide supply is running at 3.8 months of inventory. Under six months of supply is generally read as a seller-leaning market. Those are metro-wide figures, and El Paso is not one market: the area you pick moves the number more than the citywide average does.

Where does this market data come from?
- Closed-sale data from the Greater El Paso Association of REALTORS MLS, compiled and updated monthly by Peña El Paso Realty Group. The original-asking-price figure is our own calculation: every resale single-family home that closed in the month, its sale price divided by the price it first listed at, averaged. Data runs through October 2026.
Source: Greater El Paso MLS (GEPAR) - FlexMLS Sold Market Analysis, Single Family Residence. Aggregated from per-ZIP data via PEPRG ZIP-to-Area map. Notes: Feb 2026 medianPrice was sourced from Sales Statistics by Zip Code (all-residential) since the Sold Market Analysis median column was not enabled for that pull; Mar 2026 onward uses Sold Market Analysis median (SFR-only). May 2026 entry refreshed to full-month (5/1-5/31) on 2026-06-10 (was partial through 5/11). medianPrice for multi-zip areas is weighted by homesSold across constituent zips (approximation; per-area filtered FlexMLS reports would give a true median). New Mexico (Santa Teresa 88008 + Sunland Park 88063, SFR) seeded 2026-06-20 from a 2026 year-to-date pull (1/1/2026-6/20/2026), homesSold-weighted across the two zips; it is a single YTD data point (NOT a calendar month like the El Paso series) and is deliberately excluded from the El Paso submarket breakdown table until it accrues true monthly data. June 2026 appended 2026-07-04 from the 6/1/2026-6/30/2026 Sold Market Analysis (SFR, report dated 7/4/2026), homesSold-weighted per the same ZIP-to-Area map (northeast 79904/79924/79934; east 79925/79935/79936; far-east 79938; horizon-socorro 79927/79928; west-upper-valley 79911/79912/79922/79932; lower-valley 79905/79907/79915; central-downtown 79901/79902/79903/79930). July 2026 appended 2026-08-03 from the 7/1/2026-7/31/2026 Sold Market Analysis (SFR, report dated 8/3/2026), homesSold-weighted per the same ZIP-to-Area map. Note: the July report prints 79934 Percent-of-List at 115 (new-construction-heavy ZIP); taken as-is pending verification, it drives the elevated northeast (1.06) and all-el-paso (1.02) listToSaleRatio this month. July 2026 refreshed 2026-08-05 from the 8/5 re-export (report dated 8/5/2026): 5 late-recorded closings (79938 x2, 79928, 79907, 79915) landed after the 8/3 pull; 79934's Percent-of-List remained 115, corroborated as a builder-closing pattern by 79928 printing 104 (the metro's two new-construction ZIPs are the only ones above 100). August 2026 appended 2026-09-01 from the 8/1/2026-8/31/2026 Sold Market Analysis (SFR, report dated 9/1/2026), homesSold-weighted per the same ZIP-to-Area map. The citywide listToSaleRatio returned to 0.99: 79934 printed 100 and 79928 printed 99, so July's builder-driven 1.02 did not repeat. Aggregation re-verified against this report's Last-Year columns: northeast and east reproduce the stored 2025-08 rows exactly; the stored central-downtown and lower-valley 2025-08 rows were built with 79905 in central-downtown (the current map places it in lower-valley), so year-over-year reads for those two areas against 2025 months carry that ZIP difference. Resale sale-to-original-list (resaleHomesSold, resaleSaleToListRatio, resaleSaleToOriginalListRatio) added 2026-09-17 for every El Paso area, 2025-01 onward: a FlexMLS closed search (Single Family Residence, New Home or Resale = Resale, one calendar month by sold date) returns each sale's sold, list and original list price; each sale's ratio is averaged per area over the same ZIP-to-Area map, all-el-paso being the union of the mapped ZIPs, so its count differs from homesSold (new builds out, unmapped ZIPs out). listToSaleRatio (the Sold Market Analysis Percent-of-List) was confirmed the same day to be sale price over the FINAL list price, truncated to a whole percent. Sep 2026 appended 2026-10-02 from the Sold Market Analysis dated 10/2/2026 (9/1/2026 to 9/30/2026); resale original-ask fields merged 2026-10-02 from a FlexMLS closed search (500 resale SFR closings, 475 inside the seven areas). Oct 2026 appended 2026-11-01 from the Sold Market Analysis dated 11/1/2026 (10/1/2026 to 10/31/2026); method re-verified against its Last-Year columns (northeast reproduces the stored 2025-10 row exactly; east carries a $60,000 sold-volume restatement on one sale; active counts drift 1 to 10 elsewhere; central/lower-valley carry the known 79905 map difference). Median and average prices reflect closed sales. Data through October 2026.
