Homes moved faster in Centennial Hills, but not every seller got full price

By Julie

Real estate, Centennial Hills-89130

The one fact that changes what you should do: 37.5% of homes in Centennial Hills went under contract within two weeks. That is up 11 points from a year ago, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Speed is back. But it rewards the homes priced right, not every home on the street.

That speed number is local. Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings had price cuts in September, the highest share since October 2022. Centennial Hills is moving faster than that picture suggests. Even so, the gap between a well-priced home and an overpriced one is real here too.

What sellers actually got at the closing table

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 108 homes sold in ZIP 89130 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. The average sale closed at 98.5% of list price. That is down 0.7 points from the same period a year ago. Not a big drop, but a real one. It means most sellers left a little money on the table.

Prices rose here, even as the national picture softened

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in 89130 at $445,000, up 6.7% from the same three months in 2025. That outpaces the national number. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose just 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Centennial Hills ran well ahead of that pace.

Fewer homes, fewer buyers, but things still moved

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 141 homes for sale in 89130, down 18.5% from a year ago. New listings also fell, down 17.2% to 140. Fewer choices for buyers, fewer sellers in the pool. Pending sales came in at 120, down 9.1% from a year ago. The market is smaller, but it is still moving.

Only some sellers got above asking

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 13.9% of homes sold above list price in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 5.5 points from a year ago. So roughly 1 in 7 sellers beat their asking price. The rest did not. Pricing right from the start still matters more than hoping for a bidding war.

Rates are not helping buyers either. Realtor.com reported mortgage rates topped 7% for the first time since January 2025. That keeps some buyers on the sideline. It is one reason fewer homes sold this period than a year ago.

One more thing worth knowing: every street reads a little differently from the ZIP code as a whole. The numbers above cover all of 89130. Your block, your floor plan, your condition, those details shift the picture. That is where a closer look helps.
