Realty Refined Lubbock - The Scott Toman Team Shares Fall Selling Guidance for Lubbock Homeowners

Sep 23, 2026


Lubbock real estate team encourages sellers to assess pricing, presentation and timing before listing a home this fall


Lubbock, Texas Sep 23, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - What should a Lubbock homeowner do before listing a house this fall? Realty Refined Lubbock - The Scott Toman Team recommends reviewing comparable sales and current competing listings, assessing the property's condition, and deciding how the sale fits the owner's next move. The team is sharing this guidance with homeowners in Lubbock and surrounding West Texas communities who are considering a sale before the end of the year.

The team says a property-specific review is more useful than relying on a single citywide headline or an automated home-value estimate. An effective asking price and marketing plan depend on the home's location, features, condition and alternatives available to buyers.

"The first question is not simply what a house might sell for. It is what the seller needs the move to accomplish and how that particular property compares with the homes buyers can choose from today," said Scott Toman, who leads The Scott Toman Team. "That conversation shapes the asking price, preparation and marketing plan."

Three decisions to make before listing in Lubbock

First, sellers should review recent comparable sales and active competition for their type of property and location. A home in South Lubbock may require a different pricing and marketing plan than one in Tech Terrace, Wolfforth or Shallowater. Sellers should compare closed sale prices as well as current asking prices, while accounting for differences in size, condition and features.

Second, homeowners should decide which repairs and presentation improvements are worthwhile before photos and showings begin. The team recommends identifying issues that could complicate a buyer's evaluation, then choosing updates in light of likely cost, available time and the home's price range. An extensive renovation is not automatically the best use of a seller's budget.

Consider a homeowner with a three-bedroom house in southwest Lubbock who is weighing a full kitchen remodel before listing. If comparable nearby homes with similar kitchens sold without that work, the owner could instead prioritize a needed repair, clean presentation and a price that reflects the home's condition. If the closest competing homes are substantially updated, the calculation may be different. A local comparison and realistic project costs help the seller decide.

Third, sellers should plan for the whole transaction, including their next housing move, likely closing timeline and how they will review offers. The highest offer is not always the strongest overall option if financing, contingencies or timing introduce additional uncertainty. The team's seller resources outline its approach to marketing and guiding a sale from listing through closing.

Toman and his team work with buyers and sellers across Lubbock, Lubbock County and nearby West Texas communities. For homeowners weighing a fall or winter sale, the team offers a property-specific market analysis and a discussion of preparation, pricing and next steps. The appropriate strategy depends on the home and the owner's circumstances; no sale price or timeline can be guaranteed.

Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 15 years in prison for 2006 sex crime in New York

NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced in Manhattan to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony sex crime in another #MeToo reckoning. Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years. His 2020 conviction was overturned by New York's highest court, citing testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. A second jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year. Once among the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry, Weinstein was an Oscar-winning producer whose hits included “Shakespeare in Love,” “Pulp Fiction” and “Chocolat.” But his downfall came quickly after sexual assault allegations in 2017 set off the #MeToo movement. Weinstein, 74, is expected to appeal. He is now likely to remain behind bars until at least his late 80s. He has denied raping or sexually assaulting anyone. Seated in a wheelchair, he was quickly wheeled out of the courtroom after the sentencing, while some of his accusers hugg

Trump's ban of three prominent news outlets from White House is in court

WASHINGTON — The extraordinary showdown between President Donald Trump and media outlets whose coverage he dislikes moved Wednesday to a courtroom in the nation’s capital, where a judge is hearing arguments on whether the president’s move banning three news organizations from White House grounds violates the Constitution. The administration has doubled down on its contention that it has the right to decide who can set foot in the White House. “Access to the White House is a privilege — not a right,” it said in a court filing late Tuesday. It also argued that the reporting of the three outlets — CNN, MS NOW and Politico — poses a threat to national security. In his early comments about the case, Trump focused not on national security but on negative coverage by the outlets and allegations of “fake news.” The proceedings are historic, said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. “No president has taken this explicit of a step” to ban entire news outlets because he doesn’t like their reporting, she sa

AI leaders warn UN of security risks as systems grow more powerful

UNITED NATIONS — Executives from three of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies briefed the UN Security Council on Wednesday amid warnings that increasingly powerful AI systems could soon improve themselves, slip beyond human control and pose a threat to international security. Among those addressing the 15-member council during the annual General Assembly gathering were OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Hugging Face co-founder Clément Delangue, three of the industry's most prominent executives. "If managed poorly, I even believe that AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole," Anthropic's Amodei told the Security Council. Governments have grappled with how to oversee AI systems that are advancing faster than regulators can keep up while the United States and China — the two dominant players in AI development — remain divided over whether the technology needs global guardrails or should be left largely to market forces. “If AI is to be democratic, the most important decisions cannot be made by labs in San Francisco alone. They must be shaped t

Xi heads into Trump visit after making China into global force since 2015

WASHINGTON — When Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for a state visit in 2015, he sought to calm the growing unease among the Americans about his country's rapid ascent. Xi largely succeeded, shaking hands with then-President Barack Obama to deepen economic ties and expand cooperation. In the Rose Garden, Obama declared that the U.S. “welcomes the rise of a China that is peaceful, stable, prosperous and a responsible player in global affairs.” Those days are over. Returning to the U.S. capital Wednesday for the first state visit in over a decade, Xi — more confident than ever — is seeking stability even as the globe's two largest economies compete over everything from artificial intelligence to space ambitions and global influence. Xi is expected to urge cooperation with the U.S. for the sake of the world. “In 2015, China was a rising power still, profoundly and quickly rising, but rising undeniably,” said Mira Rapp-Hooper, a visiting fellow at Brookings Institution's Center for Asia Policy Studies. Now, “China is risen.” Both economies have grown remarkabl

Lee, Trump discussed shipbuilding in brief New York meeting: White House

WASHINGTON — A White House official said Wednesday South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed shipbuilding cooperation and other topics during a meeting on the margins of the U.N. General Assembly this week. The official made the remarks in response to Yonhap News Agency's question about the meeting on Tuesday, where Seoul officials said that the leaders discussed key issues, including Seoul's push to acquire nuclear-powered submarines and secure rights to enrich uranium and reprocess spent nuclear fuel for peaceful civil purposes. "President Trump and President Lee had a brief meeting on the sidelines of the Leaders Reception at the United Nations General Assembly, where they discussed shipbuilding cooperation among other topics," the official said in an email. After the 30-minute meeting, a presidential official told reporters that Trump expressed interest in shipbuilding cooperation, as the Trump administration seeks cooperation with South Korea to rebuild the United States Navy and shipbuilding industry.

Mounting inflation pressures put more Fed rate hikes in view

Mounting inflation pressures and a strengthening economy look to be pushing the Federal Reserve towards an interest-rate hike on the eve of critical national elections, with traders on Wednesday piling into bets on a second straight Fed rate increase in late October. A closely watched measure of U.S. business activity, S&P Global's flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index, jumped this month to its highest level since July 2021, S&P Global reported on Wednesday. The survey's measure of prices paid by businesses for inputs jumped to a nearly four-year high. Oil prices took a leg up on Wednesday, with Brent crude futures rising about 2 percent to $101.09 a barrel, and diesel fuel prices have surged to over $6.50 a gallon, as the US-Iran war continues to disrupt supply. Diesel has particular potential to broaden price pressures, as it powers the equipment and trucks used to make and move goods throughout the economy. The backdrop of rising inflationary risks and a strong economy means the Fed is likely to deliver more rate hikes, Fed Governor Michael Barr said on Wednesday in what's become a r

Ukraine sent two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea, Zelenskyy says

UNITED NATIONS/SEOUL — Ukraine has transferred two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday in an address to the United Nations General Assembly. "Recently, we sent two North Korean prisoners of war to the Republic of Korea," said Zelenskyy in his speech. "These guys are not easy to capture alive. One of them, when he realized he was going to be taken prisoner, tried to kill himself. And he was shocked that fate did not let him die." Zelenskyy did not provide more details about the return. Ukraine captured the two North Koreans in Russia's Kursk region in January last year. They were the first North Korean soldiers to be apprehended alive since the country entered the Russia-Ukraine war in 2024. Zelenskyy said at the time that he would hand them over to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un if he could facilitate their exchange for Ukrainians held captive in Russia. Human rights groups, however, urged him to repatriate them to South Korea citing the risks of punishments the soldiers faced. South Korean media reported that the two c

Trump welcomes China's Xi Jinping to Washington for state visit

WASHINGTON — Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington Wednesday evening, where he received a rare greeting from President Donald Trump, who met his counterpart at the base’s airport instead of waiting for him to drive to the White House. Trump’s decision to greet Xi shows how far the U.S. president is going to honor China’s leader as he made his first state visit to the U.S. capital in more than a decade. Xi says China and the US should be ‘partners, not rivals’ In a statement marking his arrival in the U.S., China’s leader wrote that his country and the U.S. “should be partners, not rivals. Achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand and the two countries can contribute to each other’s success, thereby benefiting the wider world.” Xi’s statement also suggested that the two sides “should move toward each other and work together to build a stable relationship – one where cooperation is the mainstay, competition is kept within proper limits, differences are managed and peace can be expected.
