The table below provides 12 years of historical information on residential sales by price. It is sorted by ZIP code and school district to provide a count of the number of sales made that were greater than $400,000, between $400,000-$300,000, between $300,000-$200,000, between $200,000-$100,000, and below $100,000. A few observations:

Abilene ISD had an outlier year with 10 sales above $400,000 – no other year comes close to matching this performance.
Wylie ISD had their strongest year in the 12 years tabulated with 44 sales over $400,000.
79602 has some of the newest development and this is captured with 47 sales above $400,000 sold in 2017
79603 has never had a sale that cleared $400,000.
With 147 sales, 79605 had the most sales below $100,000 in 2017. This is down by 149 when compared to 2006, the peak year in this data. In fairness, however, these sales are in current dollars that have not been adjusted for inflation – it stands to reason more houses sold below $100,000 in 2006 because prices have risen 21.5% over the 12-years that followed.
