What matters most for Waxahachie sellers: positioning against the new-construction comps (Myrtle Creek alone has seven builders), historic-district designation (the city has six National Register historic districts), Waxahachie ISD school assignment (Waxahachie Global HS earned an A (96), and the district a B (80) for 2025-26), and condition relative to either the new builds or the Victorian-era restorations down the street.
Each Waxahachie neighborhood competes with different homes. A resale near North Grove or Sunrise at Garden Valley is compared with Bloomfield's new homes there, while a home in the West End or Oldham Avenue historic districts competes on historic character that a new subdivision can't copy.
Knowing who is looking shapes how Silvia positions your listing.
Buyers who want Victorian architecture close to downtown and the kind of character a new subdivision can't copy. They focus on the West End, Oldham Avenue and North Rogers Street historic districts.
Buyers interested in Waxahachie Global High School, which earned an A (96) for 2025-26 and admits students by application.
Buyers who could also buy new in Myrtle Creek, North Grove or Sunrise at Garden Valley. A resale has to compete with those homes on price, condition and lot.
Waxahachie prices rose the most of the six South DFW cities Silvia covers. The citywide median sale price was $400,000 for the three months ending September 2026, up 9.7% year-over-year (Redfin). Homes take longer to sell, though, at a median of about 72 days, 12 days slower than a year earlier. Buyers can also choose new construction in communities such as Myrtle Creek, North Grove and Sunrise at Garden Valley.
Homes that go live above their comp range don't get those showings. By week three the listing has aged, and by week six agents show it as a home that will come down in price. When the price finally drops to where it should have started, the urgency is gone, and the sale price usually lands below what a sharp opening price would have earned.
Original Victorians in the West End, Oldham Avenue or North Rogers Street districts should be marketed as historic homes inside National Register Historic Districts, because the buyer who pays for that history is different from the buyer shopping new construction in North Grove. Pricing for the wrong buyer can cost you thousands at closing.
Listings sit about 10 weeks and new-construction communities compete for the same buyers, so pricing strategy is where sellers have leverage. A sharp opening price gives the home its best chance at a typical close.
Silvia is a solo agent with her own company, Modern Feather Realty Group, and a 5-star bilingual REALTOR at BK Real Estate, so a full brokerage team backs her up. She serves Waxahachie, Mansfield, Midlothian, and the rest of South DFW. She earned four BK Real Estate awards in the past year: Rising Star (2025), Top Rental Agent (February 2026), Top Producer (March 2026, with over $500,000 closed in a single month), and Top Rental Agent again (April 2026). She is just as active in rentals as she is in sales.
Silvia spent 10+ years as a FinTech analyst before going into real estate full-time. That career trained her to read complicated financial documents fluently, a skill that goes into every Waxahachie listing: the price, the school assignment, the Ellis County tax stack, and the comparable sales across both new-construction communities and the historic-district buyer pool. She also renovated a lake house personally (siding, flooring, framing), so she can walk through an inspection report and tell you what is cosmetic versus structural — especially in a Victorian.
Silvia grew up in Irving, went to school in Oak Cliff, earned her degree from UT Arlington, and has been a South DFW resident for the entirety of her adult life. As a solo agent, she handles your listing and your negotiations herself. Hablamos español también.
If you are looking to sell your house quickly, I cannot recommend Silvia enough. She listed our property and her strategy brought in multiple offers. The team at Modern Feather Realty made the entire process easy and answered all our questions. Best real estate experience we've ever had!
Waxahachie homes sold in a median 72 days over the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin), but each neighborhood competes with different homes, as these three show.
Bloomfield Homes lists homes from $374,990 to $599,777, with a pool, splash pad, community center and trails. Most lots sit in the North Grove Public Improvement District, which adds an assessment to the tax bill.
Bloomfield Homes lists homes from $439,990 to $721,676, and the builder says the community has no MUD and no PID. Nearby resales compete directly with these new homes.
One of six National Register historic districts in Waxahachie, with Queen Anne-style homes close to downtown. It draws a different buyer than the new-construction communities.
Professional photography + video
Buyers see your photos before your house, and phone snapshots cost showings.
Deep clean + declutter
Low cost, and it improves every photo and showing.
Fresh neutral paint
Neutral walls make every other improvement show better.
Curb-appeal landscaping
The first photo decides whether they read the address.
Minor kitchen hardware refresh
New cabinet pulls and a faucet help, but only if the kitchen feels dated.
Driveway + exterior power-wash
A small spend for a visibly cleaner home.
Full kitchen renovation
Buyers want to pick their own finishes, so a full renovation rarely earns back its cost.
Adding a pool
Few buyers want the upkeep, so a pool added before sale often counts against the price.
Major bathroom remodel
A cosmetic refresh can help, but a full remodel rarely pays back.
Premature roof replacement
Unless leaking, let the buyer choose the contractor.
Custom landscaping
Most buyers want their own vision in the yard.
Carpet replacement everywhere
If subfloors are good, an allowance often beats new carpet.
As a solo agent, Silvia is your one point of contact from the first price conversation to the closing table, with BK Real Estate's team behind her.
Silvia prices from actual closed sales on your block, not Zillow guesses, then adjusts for condition and upgrades to find the number that draws multiple showings without costing you thousands at closing.
Professional photos, drone and twilight shots, Zillow 3D tours, virtual staging and walkthrough video, chosen for what each home needs, plus posts on social media beyond the MLS.
Silvia handles every offer, counter and closing-table issue herself. You get a weekly seller report on every listing, and she walks you through each contract and form.
Most buyers start online, and if your listing photos look like phone snapshots, they move on before they read the address. Silvia matches the marketing to the house: professional photos, drone exteriors and twilight shots where they help, and virtual staging for vacant rooms so buyers can see how the space lives.
When a home benefits from one, Silvia adds a Zillow 3D Home tour. Buyers can walk through every room from their phone, so by the time they book a showing they already know your layout. It helps out-of-town buyers who tour virtually before they fly in.

Silvia manages each step from inspection through the final walkthrough, and the weekly seller report means you never have to chase updates.
Waxahachie's median sale price was $400,000 for the three months ending September 2026, up 9.7% year-over-year (Redfin). Your home's value depends on neighborhood (North Grove trades differently than a West End Historic District Victorian), school assignment (Waxahachie Global HS magnet vs the traditional district), lot size, and condition. Get a free CMA for a real number based on your specific address.
The median Waxahachie home sold in about 72 days over the three months ending September 2026, 12 days slower than a year earlier (Redfin). New-construction communities such as Myrtle Creek compete for the same buyers, so pricing against both resale and builder comps matters.
It depends on the repair. Cosmetic items (paint, deep clean, landscaping) almost always pay for themselves in offer strength. Major repairs (roof, HVAC, foundation) often don't, because buyers want to pick their own contractor. Silvia can walk the home with you before listing and tell you which line items earn their cost back.
Agent commissions are negotiable, and no law sets them. Call Silvia to talk through costs for your situation.
Cash offers usually trade price for speed and an as-is sale. Cash makes sense if you need to close in under two weeks or the home needs major repairs you can't fund. Otherwise, listing on the open market lets more buyers compete for your home.
