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.
How Mackenzie Terrace compares to Northeast Lubbock
Set against the ZIP it sits in, Mackenzie Terrace appraises about 8% below the Northeast Lubbock median, with houses 4% smaller than the Northeast Lubbock norm, and owner-occupancy 1.4 points lower. Those three numbers together say more about what a sale here looks like than any single average does.
Where Mackenzie Terrace sits among Lubbock neighborhoods
Ranked against the other neighborhoods covered here, Mackenzie Terrace is the 15th largest of the eighteen Lubbock neighborhoods on this site, 18th by appraised value, and 17th for owner-occupancy. That puts it among the most investor-held neighborhoods here, so more of what sells is a rental rather than a family home. It is also one of the more affordable places to buy in the city, which cuts both ways when repairs are needed.
What that means if you are selling here
At these values the arithmetic gets tight, and we would rather say so plainly. When a roof, a foundation and an HVAC system all come due at once, the repair bill can approach what the finished house is worth. That 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.
Streets we see most in Mackenzie Terrace
The roll puts most of the neighborhood on these streets: E Auburn St, E 1St Pl, E Cornell St, E 1St St. If your address is not on that list but you are in Mackenzie Terrace, we still buy there — the list is the densest part, not the boundary.
