Sell in Taft with 1% Full-Service Representation.
Taft is a small San Patricio County market east of Sinton where buyers may compare older in-town homes, remodeled properties, larger lots and nearby coastal-corridor alternatives. With low sales volume, one or two closings can move the statistics sharply, so property-specific comps matter more than a broad trend line.
Use 1% Full Service for representation, or MLS-only when you want to run the sale.
1% Full Service includes pricing guidance, MLS management, showing coordination, negotiation and closing support. $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic are for sellers who want MLS exposure while managing the transaction themselves.

Taft’s low sales count means the median can move because of a very small number of properties. Compare the home’s actual age, condition, lot, improvements and windstorm context before widening to nearby cities.
Taft’s small sales sample calls for a close look at each comp.
Redfin reports a $74,964 median Taft sale price for the three months ending September 2026. Its September display lists 105 median days on market and three home sales. With so few sales, a change in the properties sold can move the median sharply; it does not establish a matching change in your home’s value. Market time here measures time to an accepted offer, not time to closing.

Low-volume comps
Three reported September sales are not enough to price from a median alone. Review each recent closing and the current active competition.
Inland I wind context
TDI’s legacy county map lists Taft in Inland I. Roof, windstorm certification and insurance-related documentation can matter to buyers and should be organized before listing.
Older-home condition
Roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical and HVAC history can create large price differences between similar-sized homes.
Lot and outdoor utility
Larger lots, workshops, covered parking and storage can differentiate Taft properties and should be shown clearly.
Nearby-market pressure
Portland, Sinton, Odem and Corpus Christi can influence buyer expectations, but only use them when the property type and commute logic match.
Offer structure
In a small market, financing strength, concessions and inspection exposure can matter as much as the offered price.
- Gather windstorm and roof records
- Document major systems and repairs
- Confirm lot and utility facts
- Review active Taft/Sinton/Odem competition
- Show storage and outdoor improvements
- Set seller concession limits
TDI’s legacy county map identifies Taft as Inland I. Property-specific requirements and insurance eligibility should be independently verified.
Current windstorm guidance: TDI identifies its county maps as legacy references. Its current building-code guidance determines wind-speed requirements by each structure’s location. A city’s Inland I/II label alone does not establish compliance or insurance eligibility. Gather available roof, permit and windstorm records, then confirm requirements with a qualified inspector and insurance agent. Use TDI’s certificate-search resources to find existing records.

Taft sits inside a tightly connected San Patricio County seller corridor.
Nearby communities can influence demand, but each has different wind-zone, price and housing-stock characteristics.
Questions to resolve before the listing launches.
Why is Taft’s median less reliable than a large-city median?
Because only a small number of homes sell in a given month. One unusual property can change the headline statistic significantly.
Is Taft in the same wind zone as Sinton?
No. TDI’s legacy county map lists Taft in Inland I and Sinton in Inland II, which is one reason property-specific construction and insurance documents matter.
What does 1% Full Service include?
CMA and pricing guidance, MLS setup and management, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination and feedback, offer review and negotiation, and contract-to-close support.
When is the 1% fee paid?
At closing only if the property sells, subject to the signed listing agreement.
Can I cancel the full-service listing?
Yes. Eaton’s current full-service offer allows cancellation for $0, subject to the signed agreement.
Can I choose MLS-only?
Yes. $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic are seller-managed alternatives. They do not include seller representation or CMA/pricing guidance.
Is buyer-agent compensation included in the 1%?
No. Any buyer-agent compensation is separate, negotiable and chosen by the seller.
