What does the Box Canyon housing market data show?
Every row below is Redfin's final published month for Box Canyon, TX. Redfin, through July 2021
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $420,000 |
| Median price per sq ft | $156/sq ft |
| Median days on market | 203 days |
| Homes sold (that month) | 1 |
| Market condition | Leaning buyer's |
How to read these numbers
- Median sale price
- Half the homes that closed sold for more than this, half for less. It moves with what kind of home sold that month, so a quiet month with two big sales can swing it. Redfin's figure for Box Canyon is frozen at May 2026.
- Typical home value (ZHVI)
- Zillow's estimate of what a mid-market home in Box Canyon is worth right now, whether or not it sold. It is smoother than the median sale price and it still refreshes monthly, which is why this page leads with it.
- Months of supply
- How long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under 3 favors sellers, over 6 favors buyers, and 3 to 6 is the balanced band.
- Days on market
- Median time from listing to accepted offer. Short means you should have financing ready before you tour; long means there is room to negotiate on price and repairs.
- Sale-to-list ratio
- Sale price divided by the last asking price. Above 100% means bidding above asking is normal here; below 100% means the typical buyer got a discount.
- Price per square foot
- The size-adjusted price. Use it to compare a 1,400 sq ft house to a 2,600 sq ft house, not to value your own home — lot, condition and age move it a lot.
- Listings with a price cut
- Share of active listings that dropped their asking price in the month. A high share is the earliest visible sign that sellers are ahead of what buyers will pay.
- Typical asking rent (ZORI)
- Zillow's repeat-rent index for asking rents on new leases. Paired with the home value it gives the price-to-rent ratio in the rent-vs-buy section below.

What does it cost to buy a home in Box Canyon?
Priced off the median sale price of $420,000 at the current 7.03% 30-year fixed rate. These are principal and interest only — property taxes, homeowner's insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are on top, and they vary enough by property that we will not guess them for you.
| Down payment | Cash at close | Loan amount | Monthly P&I |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $84,000 | $336,000 | $2,242/mo |
| 5% | $21,000 | $399,000 | $2,663/mo |

What income do you need?
Lenders generally want housing costs under 28% of gross income. On the 20%-down payment of $2,242, that implies roughly $96,094 a year before you add taxes and insurance. The median household in Box Canyon earns $95,469, about $625 short of that threshold — the typical local household needs a larger down payment, a co-borrower, or a home below the median sale price to fit the 28% rule. That puts the price-to-income ratio at 4.4x — above the historical 3x norm but in line with much of the country in 2026.
