Are Sunterra Lakes Sellers Getting Their Asking Price? The 2026 Numbers Tell a Real Story

In Sunterra Lakes, Brookshire TX, homes are selling at an average of 88.9% of list price in 2026. Sellers who price right are closing faster and walking away with more — here's what the data shows.

TL;DR:

Fresh HAR data shows homes in Sunterra Lakes are closing at a median of $279,990 with an average sale-to-list ratio of 88.9%. Some sellers are receiving 100% or more of their asking price while others are sitting on the market for months. The difference comes down entirely to pricing strategy from day one.

If you own a home in Sunterra Lakes and you've been watching the neighborhood grow, you already know this community draws serious buyer interest. The Crystal Lagoon amenity, the newer construction, the family-friendly atmosphere — it all adds up to a place people genuinely want to be.

But wanting to move into a neighborhood and paying the asking price are two different things. And if you're thinking about selling in 2026, you deserve to know exactly where the market stands before you put a sign in the yard.

We pulled fresh HAR data covering every active, pending, and sold single-family listing in Sunterra Lakes as of April 26, 2026 — 103 listings in total. Here's what the numbers actually say.

The Current State of the Sunterra Lakes Market

Right now, there are 66 active single-family homes listed in Sunterra Lakes, priced from $246,990 to $750,800. The average list price is $350,678 and the median is $342,445. Homes are listed at an average of $149.46 per square foot, with sizes ranging from just over 1,500 square feet up to 3,519 square feet.

Sixteen additional homes are currently under contract, priced between $279,990 and $423,166 with a median of $334,490. Those pending homes went under contract after an average of 65 days on market.

Active listings are averaging 90 days on market — with some sitting at 150, 180, even 219 days. That 25-day gap between what's going under contract and what's still waiting is a signal worth paying close attention to.

What Are Homes Actually Closing For?

Here's what sellers in Sunterra Lakes are taking to the closing table. Across the 21 single-family homes that sold in the community between late October 2025 and late April 2026:

• Median sold price: $279,990

• Average sold price: $280,751

• Adjusted price per square foot: $139.85

• Average sale-to-list ratio: 88.9%

• Median days on market at close: 41 days

That 88.9% sale-to-list ratio is the headline figure. On average, Sunterra Lakes sellers are receiving about 89 cents on every asking dollar. On a $330,000 list price, that works out to roughly $293,000 at the table.

Now compare that to active listings currently priced at an average of $149.46 per square foot. Homes are actually closing at $139.85 per square foot. That $10 per square foot gap explains a lot about why certain listings are sitting — they're priced against other active listings rather than against what buyers are actually agreeing to pay.

Some Sellers Are Getting Full Price — and Even More

The average tells one story. The outliers tell a better one.

Several homes in this dataset closed at exactly 100% of their list price. Two others closed at 111.54% and 111.67% of asking — meaning buyers drove final prices above list in competitive offer situations.

What do those homes have in common? They were priced at or below the adjusted market rate that buyers were actually paying — not the active comp average. When a home enters the market priced to reflect real closed data rather than what other sellers are hoping for, it creates urgency. Urgency creates competition. Competition drives the final price up.

The homes that sold for the smallest percentage of list — some in the 76–79% range — followed a different pattern: they sat 70 or more cumulative days before closing, often after price reductions. The strategy your price is built on matters more than the number itself.

What Days on Market Is Telling Sellers

Active listings in Sunterra Lakes are averaging 90 days on market. Some have stretched past 150 and 180 days — a long time to be sitting in a community that still generates steady new-construction traffic.

Homes that closed recently did so in a median of 41 days. Those that took 60 or more days to close consistently sold at a lower percentage of their list price.

The pattern is straightforward: a home priced correctly moves quickly and closes strong. A home that tests the ceiling of the active comp range sits, accumulates days on market, and eventually closes at a steeper discount than a well-priced listing would have delivered in the first place.

If you list at $350,000 and eventually close at $295,000 after 120 days, you've likely netted less than a clean, well-priced offer at $310,000 in week two would have produced.

What This Means If You're Considering Selling in Sunterra Lakes

Buyers are active in this community. Sixteen homes are under contract right now. They're looking, comparing, and choosing carefully — and they have options.

You're competing with new construction offering builder incentives, and you're competing with other resale homes that may be priced more aggressively than yours. Communities like Tamarron in Fulshear and Vanbrooke in Brookshire are drawing the same buyer profiles — families who want newer builds, community amenities, and room to grow without stretching their budget. That context matters when you're setting your number.

The sellers winning right now in Sunterra Lakes aren't the ones asking the most. They're the ones who priced accurately, marketed well, and closed quickly. That combination is still very achievable here — but it requires going in with a clear-eyed picture of what the market is actually doing.
