As we move deeper into the summer market, inventory shifts are providing key insights into buyer and seller behavior across the Greater Waco area. Whether you're actively in the market or simply keeping a pulse on your neighborhood, these numbers help tell the story of where we are—and where we might be heading.
Let’s take a closer look at the latest Waco MLS data from June 22 to July 31:
| Area | June 22 | July 31 | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total MLS | 1,295 | 1,456 | +161 | +12.4% |

| Lorena | 68 | 71 | +3 | +4.4% |
| China Spring | 37 | 43 | +6 | +16.2% |
🔍 Key Takeaways:
1. Inventory is Climbing in Waco
The Waco market saw a 12.5% increase in inventory—adding 88 homes over the past month. This is great news for buyers who’ve been struggling with low inventory. More options mean a bit more breathing room when searching for the right fit.
2. China Spring Surging
China Spring posted the biggest percentage increase in inventory at 16.2%. This reflects growing development and demand in one of the area’s most desirable suburban communities. If you’ve been eyeing China Spring, now is a good time to explore what’s new on the market.
3. Woodway Holds Steady
In contrast, Woodway saw a slight dip in available homes. With a 3.2% decrease, Woodway remains a tight and competitive market. Sellers here continue to benefit from strong demand and limited supply. We believe the Midway ISD draw continues to keep this market tight and in high demand.
4. Lorena Sees Modest Growth
Inventory in Lorena nudged upward by 4.4%, indicating slow but steady growth. Lorena continues to offer a strong balance of space, school districts, and community appeal.
💡 What Does This Mean for You?
If you're a buyer, increasing inventory across the MLS could signal more opportunities to find the right home—possibly with more negotiating room than in previous months.
If you're a seller, homes are still moving, but pricing strategically is more important than ever in markets like Waco and China Spring where inventory is building.
