ZIP 79905 — El Paso
The 79905 housing market is characterized by a tight inventory of active listings and a median list price significantly lower than the broader El Paso metro area. While days on market remain elevated compared to the city average, the year-over-year price appreciation suggests sustained demand for entry-level housing in this urban core. Market conditions are driven by a shrinking supply of available homes, which continues to exert upward pressure on prices despite broader national softening.
Median prices moved up 3.8% year over year.
Homes spend a median of 71 days on market with 2.8 months of supply — a fast-moving market.
11% of listings have cut prices · homes sell at 98.4% of asking — demand is running ahead of supply.
no recorded foreclosure-ledger notices (0.0 per 10,000 residents) · unemployment 7.8% · poverty 28.4% — a mixed stability profile.
