Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Houston real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Year-over-year patterns are clearer at the county level, where Matanuska-Susitna Borough’s typical home value is up 4.57 percent to about $435,000, outpacing Houston’s values. Houston’s typical home value sits near $310,000, well below the county, which may appeal to value-focused buyers even as trends shift.
In March 2026, the local picture showed a tight market with just 6 active listings and 6 new listings, alongside 6 pending sales. Homes spent a median of 45 days on the market, and with only 2 months of supply and a market gauge of 10, conditions leaned strongly toward sellers.
Pricing dynamics were mixed, with the median list price around $407,450 even as about 66.67 percent of listings saw a price drop and the average sale-to-list ratio hovered near 0.995, indicating most homes sold very close to asking. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections point to a typical home value of roughly $291,000, a median list price near $237,425, and inventory tightening further to 4 listings, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these shifts.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Houston offers residents a close-knit community, ample outdoor opportunities, and a welcoming, balanced lifestyle that makes life here fulfilling.
Houston is a small city along the Parks Highway that offers a blend of rural space and practical access to larger hubs like Wasilla and Palmer. Residents value the balance between quiet, wooded neighborhoods and the ability to reach Anchorage for work or services in about an hour, depending on conditions.
Daily life centers on the outdoors and the lakes that dot the area, including recreation around Nancy Lake State Recreation Area with its boating, fishing, and winter trails. Families often rely on nearby Mat-Su schools such as Houston Middle/High School, while younger students may attend facilities in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Essential services and larger retail clusters are close by in Big Lake and Willow, while groceries, healthcare, and more dining options are common runs into Wasilla.
For local information and permits, residents turn to the City of Houston and the Mat-Su Borough, and many enjoy community events and resources shared across the region. Year round, living here means planning around weather, road conditions, and seasonal recreation.
Navigating these practical details matters when you buy or sell. A local agent who understands Houston’s roads, lake communities, and evolving property rules can streamline decisions and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with that kind of on the ground expertise so your next move is more confident and less complicated.

“Michelle worked with me patiently through many viewings and anticipated my preferences. She helped me by accommodating my schedule and was understanding with occasional discouragement. Overall a memorable experience.”
“Kimberly's attention to us and to detail was as good as her understanding of the Sonoma County real estate market. She was very patient with us, and with the market which had a real period of low activity. She was very courteous with other agents, even when it was clear they didn't have a good grasp of their responsibilities. Her advice, once we found the homes we were interested in, was solid and sensitive to market realities. She was a good listener and interpreter of our needs and desires, and perhaps as important as anything else she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We would definitely work with her again, and recommend her without reservation”
“Working with Kelli was very easy. She is very experienced and knowledgeable, she kept me updated at all times with what was going on and when I messaged her with a question she responded within minutes! I would highly recommend working with Kelli Powers for any real estate transactions!”
“Britney from Rickey team is an exceptional realtor who made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. Her communication is clear, timely, and always thoughtful. She brings deep market knowledge and genuine care to every step. Her professionalism, follow‑through, and attention to detail truly stand out. Working with her feels easy, supportive, and incredibly reliable. I highly recommend Britney to anyone seeking a dedicated, top‑tier realtor.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Tibi! As first-time homebuyers, we were unsure of the process and had plenty of questions and stress along the way. Tibi was incredibly patient and took the time to explain everything clearly, always making sure we felt comfortable and informed. She supported us through every step from connecting us with lenders to coordinating inspections and handling repairs and consistently went above and beyond what we expected. She was also amazing with our toddlers, which made the whole experience even smoother for our family. We’re so grateful we chose to work with her.”
“I had the pleasure in working with Ms.Jeanie Murphy, the only way I can describe her is "heaven sent". She went above and beyond for my family making sure I was confident in my purchase. She listened to all my wants and needs and in the end I closed receiving them all. Im recommending her to my mother whose interested in buying a home”
“Tiffanie was very professional, and exceeded my expectations with the quality of work she provided. I would highly recommend.”
“As first-time homebuyers, the process felt overwhelming at first, but Heather made everything so much easier. She was honest and upfront about every house we looked at, especially whether homes would realistically work with our financing. We appreciated her helping us avoid wasting time and stress on homes that likely wouldn’t work out. When we found the house we loved, she quickly got us in to see it before the weekend rush so we had the best chance possible to make an offer. Throughout the entire process, she communicated clearly, explained every step from offer to closing, and always had our best interests in mind. Heather was positive, knowledgeable, and amazing to work with. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Very smooth and easy transition. Highly recommend Kim. Called her next morning she was at my house got an estimate on costs and profits. Would absolutely do it again. Jimmy”
“Having had Sarah Padgett sell our home 6 years ago and help us buy our current home, it was a no brainer for us to call her to help us negotiate and purchase the home we recently found in an area that she doesn't typically cover. She was diligent and very communicative throughout the process. Her witty and outgoing personality is a bonus!”
“For the past 10 years, Jim Aklin has been our trusted realtor for both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to understand any market and create the right strategy for success. Our most recent experience with Jim was selling our condo in April 2026. Even in a slower market, with multiple similar condos competing against ours, Jim’s expertise made all the difference. He provided valuable staging recommendations, priced our home correctly, and within just 30 days found a couple who purchased our condo at the price we were hoping for. What truly sets Jim apart is his personal approach. He genuinely cares about his clients and brings a level of trust, communication, and dedication that makes the entire process seamless. Hands down, the best buying and selling experiences we’ve had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“Bree Cox did a great job selling my home. She communicated exceptionally well, and we were always on the same page regarding our goals for the sale and our strategy for marketing the home. We were under contract in less than a week, and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. I would highly recommend Bree to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this market.”

He got us into a house we absolutely love, made the whole process way less stressful, and was just really great to work with. Our house even appraised for more than we bought it for, which was such a nice surprise!”
“Just a big thank you to Travis”
