The Waco real estate market in 2026
Waco and the Central Texas I-35 corridor — spanning from New Braunfels through San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Round Rock, Georgetown, Temple, Killeen, and Waco — is one of the fastest-growing real estate corridors in the United States. The corridor connects San Antonio to Dallas along the most heavily traveled highway in Texas, creating a continuous band of residential growth, new construction, and investment activity.
The Waco MSA median home price is approximately $265,000 as of early 2026, with strong activity in Woodway, Hewitt, Lorena, and the rapidly expanding areas near Baylor University. The Magnolia Market effect — driven by Chip and Joanna Gaines — has sustained national buyer interest in Waco real estate, creating a premium short-term rental and investment segment alongside the traditional residential market.
The I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Dallas is experiencing some of the highest population growth in Texas, with cities like Kyle, Buda, Round Rock, Georgetown, and New Braunfels consistently ranking among the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Agents who work this corridor — whether based in Waco, Temple, Killeen, or the Austin suburbs — benefit enormously from a flat-fee brokerage model that scales with transaction volume without penalizing growth.
How the top Waco brokerages compare
Most agents in Waco are choosing between the same handful of national brands. Here is how their fee structures compare — and what each one actually costs you per year.
Keller Williams Waco
Strong local presence in Waco and the corridor, but the split model means you give up 30% of every deal. High-volume I-35 corridor agents lose the most under this model.
RE/MAX Central Texas
High monthly fees regardless of production. In a fast-moving corridor market where deals can close quickly, monthly fees are a fixed drag on net income.
eXp Realty
Popular in the corridor market, but agents still give up 20% until cap. Monthly fees add up during slower months in a market with seasonal fluctuations.
