Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Houston real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year trends in Houston are harder to pin down, but recent momentum is clear, with typical home values up 5.56% month over month to about $337,000. Compared with the broader Matanuska-Susitna Borough, where values sit around $420,000 and rose 3.7% over the past year, Houston remains a more affordable option with faster recent price acceleration.
In February 2026, homes in Houston typically listed for about $747,500 and stayed on the market a median of 41 days, a sharp 26.79% drop in days on market from the prior month. With only 8 active listings, 4 new listings, and 3 pending sales, low supply is helping support prices, and roughly one-third of recent sales closed above list price as sale-to-list ratios edged slightly over 1.00.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected to rise to about $345,875, while the projected median list price jumps to around $961,500 with inventory holding steady at 8 homes. This limited supply and rising prices align with Houston’s seller’s market label, reflected in a market gauge score of 27. Whether buyers are trying to compete strategically in this tight environment or sellers are aiming to price confidently and time the market, Agent Pronto can help them connect with a local real estate professional who knows Houston well.
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.

“I would highly recommend Amy. She helped my family find a single level condo for my parents. She listened to our needs, answered all of our questions and helped coordinate everything for a smooth close. As I live outside of North Dakota, I wasn't sure how easy the process would be but Amy made it very simple and it was a great experience.”
“Working with Gabby was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the process, making what could have been stressful feel seamless and even enjoyable. Gabby was always available whenever we had questions, needed guidance, or just wanted reassurance, no matter the time. Her responsiveness and dedication made us feel like we were her top priority throughout the entire journey. What really stood out was how genuinely invested she was in our outcome. She didn’t just aim to close a deal, she strategically guided us toward securing a strong, competitive offer that would actually be accepted, all while protecting our best interests. Her knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us so much confidence in every decision we made. If you’re looking for a realtor who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares, Gabby is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a better advocate in this process.”
“Tracey helped us when we bought our hime and then again 6 years later when we sold it. She is professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond!”

“Working with Carla was an experience that exceeded our expectations in every regard. As first-time homebuyers, we entered the process with a steep learning curve, but Carla ensured we were thoroughly educated at every stage. She provided what I can only describe as a library’s worth of expertise and support throughout the entire process. From the initial search to the final closing, her attention to detail and proactive communication meant that no step was overlooked. Because of her commitment to keeping us informed, we transitioned into homeownership feeling fully prepared and confident. For any first-time buyer looking for a realtor who prioritizes both professional execution and client education, we cannot recommend Carla highly enough.”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Shannon as our agent. We bought our 1st home in the Area with her and have now sold 2 homes with her. As always she has exceeded our expectations and we won't use anyone else when it comes to real estate.”
“She was amazing and very professional. Everything was done via phone since I am stationed in California. So did a wonderful job with communicating with me and answering all the questions that I had. When the time comes and I get relocated and decide to sell the house, she will definitely be the person I call to sell it. Thanks for my first big home purchase and my new home for however many years!”
“This is the second home that Donna Nordby has sold for me. Her outstanding performance during the first home sale led me to immediatley list with her when a death in the family necesitated the unexpected sale of a home. Her advise on what to repair, along with extensive knowledge and expertise in the greater Sonoma County area was invaluable and her advise was on point. We recieved several offers over asking and were extremely happy with the transaction.”

“I was introduced through my boyriend, who in the beginning of the process said that we were going to use Eli the moment we discussed buying a house. He was amazing from the jump. Talking us through the whole process of looking at houses, what we liked and didnt like, helping explain things when we got accepted and so on. I can not put into words how smooth and easy the first time home purchase process was because of him.”
“Leslie sold us our first home in Hartford in September 2016 and stayed in touch over the years without ever being pushy. About eight months ago, when we were seriously considering a move, I had already gotten prequalified but had not fully committed. Around that time, Leslie reached out, and I took it as a sign to move forward with her. Her market knowledge and guidance stood out immediately. She helped us understand our home’s value, brought in a stager who gave honest, practical feedback, and connected us with the right tradespeople. Every recommendation was thoughtful and effective. She set clear expectations and explained the process, which was especially helpful since our lender operated differently than a typical bank. Her communication was consistent and responsive, and she helped me fully understand our final commitment. We went from accepted offer to signed paperwork in 32 days. Leslie delivers, and we look forward to working with her again.”
