The Best Areas to Live in Midland TX July 2026
What "Top 3" Means in the July 2026 Update
A local-area comparison works best when you use each metric for a specific question. Active listings show where you have more homes to compare. Pending and closed sales show where more transactions were in progress or completed. Price measures show where completed sales landed.
In this report, (79705) had the most active listings, (79707) had the most closed sales, and (79703) had the lowest price per square foot and median price among the areas shown. Each result answers a different question, so none of them should carry the entire decision by itself.
The next step is to bring the area-level data down to the property itself. Compare the home’s condition, location, price, and relevant comparable sales. You can use the report to narrow the comparison, then decide what applies to the specific property in front of you.
| Local Area | June Active Listings | June Price/Sq Ft | June Months Inventory | June Closed Sales | June Pending Sales | June DOM | June Median Price | June Average Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (79701) | 50 | $172 | 2.5 | 21 | 22 | 43 | $300,000 | $352,833 |
| (79703) | 40 | $145 | 2.2 | 13 | 28 | 29 | $245,000 | $238,992 |
| (79705) | 219 | $176 | 3.3 | 73 | 73 | 47 | $354,950 | $408,472 |
| (79706) | 144 | $217 | 4.1 | 30 | 37 | 47 | $507,000 | $532,891 |
| (79707) | 171 | $202 | 2.4 | 94 | 72 | 33 | $450,000 | $581,797 |
Figures use the June 2026 All (New and Existing) Residential (SF/COND/TH) row for each area. Closed sale counts for the most recent three months are preliminary.
(79705) Had the Most Active Listings
(79705) reported 219 active listings, the highest count among the areas shown. It also reported 106 new listings, 73 pending sales, and 73 closed sales during June. If you are buying, this means you have more homes to compare in this area. If you are selling, your pricing should account for the alternatives buyers can see nearby.
More options do not automatically mean every option is a good fit. Compare condition, price, location, and relevant comparable sales for each property instead of treating the active-listing count as the entire answer.
(79707) Had the Most Closed Sales
(79707) reported 94 closed sales, the highest monthly total among the areas shown. It also reported 72 pending sales, 108 new listings, and 171 active listings. You can use those figures together to compare available supply with the number of transactions that were pending or completed.
The June price per square foot was higher than in (79703) and (79705), so the value check still has to come down to the specific property. If you are buying, compare condition, location, and relevant sales. If you are selling, your price still has to make sense beside the homes buyers can see.
(79703) Had the Lowest Price per Square Foot
(79703) had the lowest June price per square foot and the lowest median price among the five areas shown. It also reported 29 Days on Market, 28 pending sales, and 13 closed sales. You can use those price measures as a lower-cost starting point for comparison, but they do not make every property in the area the better value.
The report showed 40 active listings in (79703), fewer than in (79705), (79706), or (79707). If you are buying, this means you have fewer options to compare. Test the specific home against its condition, location, and comparable sales rather than choosing from the area-level price alone.
How Buyers and Sellers Can Use the June Data
For Sellers
If you are selling, start with the homes buyers could compare during June. Active and new listings show the available supply around your home. Pending and closed sales show how much activity was moving through that supply. Price per square foot, median price, and average price add context, but the final pricing decision still has to come back to the specific home and the comparable sales that apply.
For Buyers
If you are buying, start with the question you are trying to answer. (79705) had the most active listings, (79707) had the most closed sales, and (79703) had the lowest price measures in this report. Then narrow the comparison to the actual home, its condition, its location, and whether the available alternatives support the price.
Use One Month of Data as Context
The June 2026 report showed what happened during one completed month. It does not prove that every home in an area gained or lost value, and it does not replace a property-specific analysis. Use the figures to understand where supply, demand, pace, and price came in during the month.
Use the report as a filter. First, identify where you have more choices, where more sales closed, or where the price measures were lower. Then compare the actual property with the homes and sales that are truly similar. That is how general market information becomes useful for a specific decision.
