How Long to Sell a House in Waxahachie, TX? 64 Days
Last updated October 17, 2026
Waxahachie homes that sold in September 2026 spent a median 64 days on the market, down from 95 a year earlier (NTREIS). That clock runs from listing to contract. Closing comes after, on the date in your contract. Based on current conditions, plan for the 64 days plus your closing period.
How long does it take to sell a house in Waxahachie, TX?
The typical Waxahachie sale took 64 days from list date to contract in September 2026. The board counted 72 closed sales, 52 pending contracts, and 297 active listings, which works out to 4.1 months of supply (NTREIS Monthly MLS Summary Report, September 2026).
Here is where I start with every Waxahachie seller: an online estimate cannot tell you which side of 64 days your house lands on. A walk-through can. Zillow misleads sellers on that point, and the reasons a DFW Zestimate misses show up house by house.
Is 64 days fast or slow for Ellis County?
It is faster than Ellis County as a whole and close to the DFW average. Waxahachie cut 31 days off its pace in a year. Same report, same month, single-family homes:

How far below list price do Waxahachie homes close?
The median Waxahachie sale closed at 94.8% of list price in September 2026 (NTREIS). On the $374,995 median sold price, that points to a list price near $395,600 and a gap of about $20,600. That is my arithmetic on the board's medians, so treat it as a size check, not a promise on your house.
The median sold price rose 2.0% from $367,500 a year earlier. Prices held while the pace sped up. Homes that sold did so near what buyers were paying, not near the first list price.
What separates a 64-day sale from a 120-day listing?
The board does not publish days on market by price band, so I will not hand you a number that is not there. What it does show: 297 homes compete for 52 pending contracts. A buyer in Waxahachie has plenty to look at, and the ones that sell are priced against recent closed sales.
If your home already passed 64 days, canceling and relisting does not wipe the slate. Read what NTREIS days on market does when you cancel and relist in Waxahachie before you touch the listing.

FAQ: selling a house in Waxahachie
Is Waxahachie a buyer's or seller's market?

Does Ellis County sell slower than Dallas County?
Yes. Ellis County homes took a median 76 days in September 2026 against 50 in Dallas County (NTREIS).
Do Waxahachie homes sell at list price?
The median sale closed at 94.8% of list in September 2026. Some close at list. The typical one closed below it.
How does the pace compare with a year ago?
Waxahachie went from 95 days in September 2025 to 64 days in September 2026 (NTREIS).
What if my home has been listed longer than 64 days?
That is the sign to re-check price against closed sales, not asking prices. A walk-through shows what a buyer sees that an estimate misses. Based on current conditions, the data supports pricing to what closed, not what is listed.
