The Houston real estate market is always evolving, and staying informed is key whether you’re buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on your neighborhood’s value. This month’s housing update gives us a closer look at home prices, available inventory, and what it all means for you.

Home Prices at a Glance

Houston’s median home price has held steady compared to last month, though year-over-year numbers show slight adjustments as the market balances out from the rapid growth of the past few years. Buyers are finding more room to negotiate, while sellers who price competitively are still seeing strong offers.

Inventory Levels Are Improving

One of the most notable changes this month is an increase in housing inventory across Greater Houston. Compared to the same time last year, buyers now have more options to choose from—especially in suburban areas like Katy, Cypress, and Pearland. This shift helps create a healthier market, giving buyers a chance to find the right fit without the intense bidding wars we saw in previous years.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to jump into the market, now may be the opportunity. More inventory means more choices and less pressure to rush into a purchase. However, with mortgage rates still fluctuating, it’s smart to get pre-approved and work with a local expert who can guide you on timing.

What This Means for Sellers

Sellers are still in a favorable position, but strategy matters more than ever. Homes priced accurately and presented well are moving quickly. Overpricing, however, may cause a property to sit longer on the market. Professional marketing, staging, and expert guidance are crucial in today’s more balanced environment.

Final Takeaway

The Houston market is finding its balance—good news for both buyers and sellers. With more homes available and prices leveling out, there’s opportunity on both sides of the transaction.
