One part of Rowlett is moving faster than the other

Real estate, Rowlett

Rowlett has two ZIP codes, and right now they are reading differently. That gap matters when you are pricing a home or deciding what to offer.

75089: prices slipped a little, but homes are selling faster

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 123 homes sold in ZIP 75089 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 19.4% from the same months a year before. The median sale price was $375,000, down 1.3% year over year. So prices dipped a bit, but buyers showed up in bigger numbers.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put median days on market in 75089 at 43 days. That is 19 days shorter than a year ago. Homes for sale fell 7.9%, which means less competition for sellers. Pending sales rose 21.8%, a sign that demand is holding.

75088: prices are up, but homes are sitting longer

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 94 homes sold in ZIP 75088 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 9.6% from a year before. The median sale price was $384,500, up 6.8% year over year. Prices are higher here, but fewer homes are crossing the finish line.

Median days on market in 75088 was 59 days, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is 16 days longer than 75089. Months of supply sat at 5.1, compared to 3.8 next door. Pending sales dropped 11.4%. The price gains are real, but buyers are taking more time.

Both ZIP codes are improving, just at different speeds

Across all of Rowlett, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 217 homes sold in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 4.8% from a year before. Homes for sale across both ZIPs fell 15.7%. New listings dropped 15.3%. Less inventory citywide is a tailwind for sellers in both areas.

Sellers in both ZIPs are still getting close to their asking price. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the sale-to-list ratio at 97.4% in 75089 and 97.6% in 75088. Both are solid. And about 1 in 8 homes sold above list price in each area.

What the national picture adds

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Rowlett's 75088 beat that by a wide margin. Rowlett's 75089 dipped slightly below it. That is a meaningful split for a city this size.

Realtor.com reported on November 4, 2026 that mortgage rates peaked at 7.40% in mid-October 2026. CNBC reported on November 4, 2026 that homebuyer applications were 19% lower than a year ago nationally. Buyers are more cautious everywhere right now. That helps explain why 75088 is taking longer to sell, even as its prices climb.

These are citywide and ZIP-level numbers from the Real Estate Data Aggregator for the three months ending August 31, 2026. One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP. If you want to know where your home fits, reach out and I can walk you through it.
