Houston Market Reports

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Houston's metro market continues to show measured appreciation with growing inventory. The 3.1% YoY price increase reflects a healthy, sustainable market rather than the unsustainable run-up of 2021–2022. Inventory growth is giving buyers more negotiating room, particularly in the $250K–$400K range.

Katy's market is showing signs of balance after years of intense competition. Inventory growth of 22% has given buyers more choices and slightly longer marketing times. Prices remain above year-ago levels but appreciation has slowed, creating a good environment for buyers targeting Katy ISD schools.

The Woodlands continues to command a significant premium over the Houston metro, justified by its master-planned quality, top-tier Conroe ISD schools, and corporate employment base. Inventory remains constrained, and correctly-priced homes under $600K are still seeing competitive offers.
