What the county roll shows about Southeast Lubbock (79404)

These come from the July 2026 Lubbock Central Appraisal District roll, counted over improved properties in Southeast Lubbock (79404) — lots with a building on them, so vacant land and large commercial do not distort the middle.

Southeast Lubbock (79404) — LCAD roll, July 2026
Improved properties on the roll3,449
Median appraised value$89,676
Typical size1,189 sq ft
Carry a homestead exemption45.3%
Without a homestead exemption1,887
Owned from outside Texas6.8%

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 Southeast Lubbock

Southeast Lubbock runs from the older streets east of Avenue A out past Slaton Road onto county roads. Small older houses, some with outbuildings, some on unusually large lots, and a good deal of deferred maintenance that has been deferred a long time.

The honest part

We will say the same thing here that we say about Slaton: when values are this low, repair costs can genuinely exceed what the finished house would be worth. That is not a negotiating position, it is arithmetic, and it limits what any buyer can responsibly pay -- us included. If that is your situation we will show you the numbers rather than just quote a low figure.

How a direct sale works in Southeast Lubbock

Same three steps everywhere we buy, east of Avenue A and out along Slaton Road 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 Southeast Lubbock

Do you buy houses in Southeast Lubbock?

Yes. Southeast Lubbock is inside our regular buying area and we look at property there in any condition. The county roll lists 3,449 improved properties in Southeast Lubbock (79404), and we will look at any of them -- occupied, vacant, tenanted, inherited, or mid-repair.

What is a house in Southeast Lubbock (79404) typically worth?

The median appraised value of an improved property in Southeast Lubbock (79404) is about $89,676, on a typical 1,189 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 Southeast Lubbock (79404) are not owner-occupied?

About 1,887 of the 3,449 improved properties in Southeast Lubbock (79404) do not carry a homestead exemption, which works out to roughly 54.7%. Those are the rentals, second homes, inherited houses, and vacant properties. It is the group we hear from most.

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

Yes, and it is common -- about 6.8% of improved properties in Southeast Lubbock (79404) 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 Southeast 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 Southeast Lubbock house?

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