Selling a House in Bell Farms
Bell Farms is the largest single subdivision on the Lubbock roll, and one of the newest at this scale. Building out that fast, that recently, leaves a neighborhood with unusually consistent housing and an unusually high share of owners still on their original mortgage.

Appraised values, not sale prices. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record. MLS-based figures cover listed sales but miss off-market and cash ones, and an appraisal-district value is not a market value. Every number here is a starting point, not an offer.

What that means if you are selling here
With a split like this, condition varies more from house to house than the averages suggest. A long-held family home and a fifteen-year rental can sit on the same street with identical bones and very different wear. That is why we will not quote a number off the subdivision average -- it would be a guess dressed up as an offer.
