Mortgage Broker
in Corpus Christi, TX
Corpus Christi is a Gulf Coast city where the median home price still sits well below the national average, even as the region grows. We help buyers and homeowners understand what that means for their mortgage and long-term plans.
A coastal city
with eye-level pricing.
The Corpus Christi housing market is somewhat competitive. Redfin reports a median sale price around $262,000 as of July 2026, essentially flat year over year (down about 0.4 percent in sale price), with homes selling for roughly 3 percent below list price and going pending in about 75 days on average.
That price point is roughly 34 percent lower than the national median sale price and the overall cost of living is about 13 percent lower, which matters for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and retirees considering the Coastal Bend.
“Corpus Christi is one of the few Texas metros where ‘coastal’ and ‘approachable’ still fit in the same sentence.”
Common loan scenarios in Corpus Christi

Why Corpus Christi still feels like
a city with room to grow.
In 2026 the momentum is concrete: Cheniere's LNG expansion is coming online train by train, the rebuilt Bob Hall Pier has reopened on Padre Island, and the city is putting more than $20 million into Northside parks.
Cheniere brought two more liquefaction trains online at its Corpus Christi LNG facility in 2026, with the full seven-train Stage 3 expansion targeted for completion by year end. The Port of Corpus Christi remains the nation's largest gateway for crude oil exports.
The rebuilt Bob Hall Pier, roughly 1,200 feet long, reopened in early 2026 with a restaurant and concession space in the works, and the Texas State Aquarium opened its Ocean Odyssey indoor playground in April 2026.
The city is investing $20.3 million across Northside parks, including upgrades to Ben Garza, Dr. H.J. Williams, and T.C. Ayers parks and a new park with an amphitheater at the former Washington-Coles school site.
“Corpus Christi gives buyers something rare: a coastal Texas address without coastal Texas pricing.”
