Here is where the South Padre Island, Port Isabel and Laguna Vista markets stand in early November 2026. I pulled October's numbers from RPR and checked what's for sale right now on the MLS so you can see how the three areas compare.
South Padre Island: October by the numbers
South Padre Island is still a buyer's market. Here is what RPR shows for October 2026, with single-family homes and condos combined.
Months of inventory: 16.05, up 5.5% from September and up 17.8% from a year ago.
Median days on market: 86, down 26.5% from September.
Sale-to-list price: 95.9%, up 1.9% from September.
Median sold price: $420,000, up about 13% from September.
Pending listings at the end of October: 17, with a median list price of $479,000.
The median sold price bounced back this month, but only 22 properties sold on the island in October. With that few sales, one or two higher-priced closings can move the median a lot. RPR's median estimated value for the island was $466,350, up 0.1% from September and down 1.8% from a year ago. That is a steadier read on values.
The good news is that the properties that sold in October sold faster and closer to asking price than in September. Inventory is still growing, though, so buyers have plenty to choose from.
South Padre Island
There are about 370 properties for sale on the island right now.
Condos and townhomes: about 250 for sale. Asking prices run from about $180,000 to $2.1 million. The typical asking price is around $555,000, or about $420 per square foot.
Single-family homes: about 39 for sale. Asking prices run from about $650,000 to $3.5 million. The typical asking price is around $1.25 million.
Lots and land: about 68 for sale, starting around $30,000.
Condos are still about two-thirds of everything on the market. Buyers have a lot to compare, and the building you choose matters as much as the unit. See current listings on my South Padre Island homes and condos for sale page.
Port Isabel
There are about 105 properties for sale in Port Isabel.
Single-family homes: about 56 for sale, from about $125,000 to $1.3 million. The typical asking price is around $395,000, or about $280 per square foot.
Condos and townhomes: about 20 for sale, from about $120,000 to $950,000.
New construction in Bahia Point is still a big part of what's for sale, with three-bedroom homes built in 2025 and 2026. See current listings on my Port Isabel homes for sale page.
Laguna Vista
There are about 74 properties for sale in Laguna Vista. Single-family homes typically ask around $550,000, and townhomes and condos around $300,000. Most of what's for sale is in the SPI Golf Community, including several new homes built this year. See current listings on my Laguna Vista homes for sale page.
What this means if you're buying
You have options, and time to compare. With 16 months of inventory on the island, I would look closely at properties that have been on the market a while or have had a price reduction. If the island is over your budget, Port Isabel and Laguna Vista give you more space for the money and you are still minutes from the beach.
What this means if you're selling
Homes that are priced right are still selling, and faster than last month. Buyers are comparing, so price it correctly, make it look its best, and market it well. I price using recent sales in your building or neighborhood, not island-wide averages. If you want to know what your property is worth today, request a free home valuation or call or text me at (903) 879-2770.
