Market Overview
Houston, TX at a glance
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and the anchor of a 7.8-million-resident metro — 2.3 million residents inside the city limits, spread across 640 square miles of independent submarkets. There is no single Houston market: the Heights, Katy, Clear Lake and Generation Park each move on their own timeline, which is exactly why the citywide median tells an individual seller so little.
As of August 2026, the median home sale price is $360,000, up 2.2% year over year, but price per square foot is down 3.9% to $173 — buyers are getting more space for their money even as headline prices tick up. Homes average 43 days on market, compared with 39 a year ago, and sell for about 3% below list price.
Volume has cooled: 5,637 homes sold in July, down from 5,891 a year earlier. With a Redfin Compete Score of 49, Houston is squarely a negotiating market — but hot, well-priced homes still go pending in about two weeks. The gap between a 14-day sale and a 90-day listing in Houston is almost entirely pricing and presentation, not the market.

State Context
How Texas shapes this market
Texas is a buyer's market by national standards right now. Statewide, the median sale price reached $344,261 in July 2026, up just 1.3% year over year, while the number of homes sold fell 7.2% and inventory tightened 4.3% to 179,767 listings. Only 11.8% of Texas homes sold above list price — a fraction of what buyers faced three years ago.
Growth has moved to the edges of the big metros: Lake Jackson (+28.5%), Brownwood (+25.5%) and Northlake (+23.4%) posted the fastest price gains in the state, while the core urban markets flattened. For Houston sellers, that means buyers are actively comparing your neighborhood against outlying suburbs on price per square foot, and an agent who can defend a submarket premium with comparable sales matters more than one who simply lists and waits.

How much are property taxes in Houston, TX?+
Houston sits mainly in Harris County, where Texas's lack of a state income tax is offset by relatively high property tax rates that vary by school district, MUD and other special districts. Always review the actual tax record, MUD exposure and homestead exemption status for a specific address before making an offer.
What should I look for when choosing a real estate agent in Houston?+
Choose an agent with verifiable sales in your specific submarket — Houston is 640 square miles and pricing logic changes block by block, especially around flood plains and school boundaries.
