Selling a House in South Lubbock (79423)

What the county roll shows about South Lubbock (79423)

These come from the July 2026 Lubbock Central Appraisal District roll, counted over improved properties in South Lubbock (79423) — lots with a building on them, so vacant land and large commercial do not distort the middle.

South Lubbock (79423) — LCAD roll, July 2026
Improved properties on the roll18,203
Median appraised value$220,493
Typical size1,760 sq ft
Carry a homestead exemption61.4%
Without a homestead exemption7,035
Owned from outside Texas3.9%

These are appraised values, not sale prices. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record. MLS-based figures exist for listed sales but miss off-market and cash ones, and an appraisal-district value is not a market value. Anyone quoting an exact number without seeing the property is estimating.

What that means if you are selling in South Lubbock

Those seven thousand are where most of our conversations in 79423 start. A rental that has stopped being worth the trouble, a house left after a parent died, a property somebody kept after moving away and has not seen in three years.

The honest part

The spread of house ages here is wide, so condition matters more in 79423 than in the newer parts of town. A 1970s house with the original roof, windows and HVAC prices very differently from a 2015 build two streets over, even at the same square footage.

How a direct sale works in South Lubbock

Same three steps everywhere we buy, between 66th and 98th, either side of University Avenue included.

  • Send the address. Condition, timing, and whether anyone is living there. Photos help; they are not required.
  • We look at the property and the title. Repairs, access, liens, occupancy, and what would need to happen to close.
  • You get a number in writing — or a straight answer about why listing would serve you better.

There is no fee, no commission when we buy directly, and no obligation at any step. The full process is here.

Common questions about selling in South Lubbock

Do you buy houses in South Lubbock?

Yes. South Lubbock is inside our regular buying area and we look at property there in any condition. The county roll lists 18,203 improved properties in South Lubbock (79423), and we will look at any of them -- occupied, vacant, tenanted, inherited, or mid-repair.

What is a house in South Lubbock (79423) typically worth?

The median appraised value of an improved property in South Lubbock (79423) is about $220,493, on a typical 1,760 square feet. That is the county's appraised figure, not a sale price. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record. Sites showing Lubbock "recent sales" work from MLS data, which covers listed sales but not off-market or cash ones, and an appraisal-district value is not a market value either. Treat every number as an estimate until somebody has actually seen the property.

How many houses in South Lubbock (79423) are not owner-occupied?

About 7,035 of the 18,203 improved properties in South Lubbock (79423) do not carry a homestead exemption, which works out to roughly 38.6%. Those are the rentals, second homes, inherited houses, and vacant properties. It is the group we hear from most.

Can you buy my South Lubbock house if I live out of state?

Yes, and it is common -- about 3.9% of improved properties in South Lubbock (79423) are owned by somebody whose mail goes outside Texas. Texas closings can be handled remotely through a title company with a mail-out or a notary where you live. You do not need to travel.

Will you tell me if listing my South Lubbock house would be better?

Yes. If your property is in retail condition and you are not under time pressure, a listing will usually net more than a cash offer, and we say so. We would rather lose the deal than talk somebody into the wrong one.

Want a number for your South Lubbock house?

Send the address and the condition. If a direct sale is not your best move, we will say so.
