Why sold data matters more in Texas
Texas is a non-disclosure state: the price a home actually sold for is not recorded in public records. Verified sale prices exist only in the MLS, which is why an agent's access to sold data matters more here than it does in most of the country.
That single rule shapes a lot of local practice. It is why tax-assessed values mislead sellers, why automated estimates are weaker here than in disclosure states, and why an agent's own closed transactions are meaningful evidence rather than decoration.
How to read a sold record
A closed sale is most useful when it is genuinely comparable: same subdivision, similar square footage and age, and closed recently enough to reflect current conditions.
Sale-to-list ratio and days on market tell you how the home was priced. A property that sold quickly at close to asking was priced correctly. A long run with several reductions usually means it started too high, which is the most expensive mistake available to a seller.
Common questions
Questions people actually ask
- Why can I not look up what a house sold for in Texas?
- Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not entered in public records. Verified sale prices are recorded in the MLS and are available through a licensed agent.
- Is the tax-assessed value what my home is worth?
- No. The appraisal district's assessed value is calculated for taxation and is not a market valuation, particularly in a non-disclosure state where the district cannot see actual sale prices. A comparative market analysis using MLS sold records is the accurate measure.
- How recent should comparable sales be?
- As recent as possible, and from the same subdivision wherever there are enough transactions. Older comparables and comparables from a different neighbourhood both introduce error that grows as the market moves.
