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
A neighborhood this owner-occupied sells differently. Most houses that come up are driven by a life event rather than an investment decision -- a job move, a downsize, an estate, a divorce. Condition is usually decent, which means a conventional listing is a real option and often the better one. Where we help here is timing and privacy: a closing date you pick, no showings, and no repair renegotiation after an inspection.

The roll puts most of the neighborhood on these streets: 74Th St, 79Th St, 78Th St, 80Th St. If your address is not on that list but you are in Farrar Estates, we still buy there — the list is the densest part, not the boundary.
