Why suddenly is all of 75904 Lufkin TX for sale?
I have a single family well kept home, corner property. Huge work shop space garage and carport. I want to sell, but the whole area seems deserted or for sale. What's going on with the real estate market in Lufkin, Texas?

Hello Eric,
Real estate markets can go through periods of high supply and slower demand for a variety of reasons. In recent years many parts of Texas have seen an increase in listings as interest rates have risen and buyers have become more cautious. Higher borrowing costs can mean homes stay on the market longer, so you may notice more "For Sale" signs because properties aren’t selling as quickly as they did during the pandemic boom. In smaller markets like Lufkin (ZIP 75904), even a modest increase in the number of listings can make it feel like everything is for sale.
Other factors that can contribute include changes in local employment (timber, health care or manufacturing in Angelina County), seasonal patterns and homeowners wanting to capture their equity before prices level off. A large employer announcing layoffs or relocations can prompt more households to list at the same time, while new construction can add additional inventory.
The best way to understand what’s happening in your specific neighborhood is to speak with an agent who knows the Lufkin market. They can pull current data on average days on market, list‑to‑sale price ratios and any local developments that might be affecting buyer demand. Even if there is more inventory, a well‑maintained property with a shop and extra parking can still attract buyers if priced appropriately. A local professional can also advise on timing and marketing to help your home stand out.
Hope this helps and good luck with your sale!
