Glen Rose, TX Housing Market
A grounded look at what homes are actually going for in Glen Rose right now — not a guess, and not a single cherry-picked number.
What homes are selling for
Different data providers measure the market in different ways — "typical home value," "median sale price," and "median list price" aren't the same number, which is why you'll see a range rather than one figure. As of mid-2026:
Typical home value
Around $255,000 (Zillow Home Value Index, a seasonally-adjusted measure of the middle price tier), up roughly 9% over the past year.
Median sale price
Around $270,000–$367,000 depending on the exact period and area measured (Redfin), with homes typically taking 60–90 days to sell.
Median list price
Around $435,000 as of May 2026 (Movoto) — list prices tend to run higher than what homes ultimately sell for.
These are general market figures, not a valuation of any specific property. For an actual comparable-sales estimate on a home you're considering, that's exactly what a local agent pulls together.
What's shaping the market
Glen Rose's housing market is described by Redfin as "somewhat competitive," with homes selling for around 2% below list price on average. Inventory leans toward acreage and rural properties alongside in-town subdivisions, and new construction has been a steady presence — several active subdivisions are building spec homes in the $325,000–$370,000 range.
Local growth drivers worth knowing about: a long-standing nuclear power plant in Somervell County and newer data center development are both expected to support local employment and, over time, housing demand.
Business owners and investors should also compare the residential picture with commercial real estate opportunities in Glen Rose, especially downtown storefronts, Highway 67 corridor sites, retail centers, and professional office space.
