Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Hardin County’s typical home value in May 2026 inched up a few percent, while the median list price climbed much faster, rising about 19% from a year earlier. Compared with Texas overall, local prices are still lower than the state median sale price of roughly $344,000, which can make the area feel relatively affordable even as values trend higher.
In the latest month, buyer activity picked up, with homes sold increasing about 5% from last year and pending sales jumping nearly 18% year-over-year. Inventory has been roughly steady, with active listings down only slightly from a year ago and months of supply at 3.4 versus 5.3 months across Texas, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers.
Momentum in May also showed up in speed and pricing dynamics, as median days on market dropped sharply from April to 45 days, even though they remain higher than a year ago. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to about 88%, and virtually no homes closed above their list price, signaling that buyers still have room to negotiate even in a seller’s market, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these nuances.
Hardin County offers residents a welcoming, tight-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, reliable local services, and growing opportunities for families and small businesses.
Hardin County combines small-town communities with practical access to jobs, schools, and outdoor recreation. Centered around Kountze and extending to Silsbee, Lumberton, and Sour Lake, the county offers a range of neighborhoods, from established in-town streets to newer subdivisions with larger lots.
Commuters appreciate proximity to Beaumont, while families focus on local school districts and everyday convenience. Lumberton and Silsbee feature grocery options, medical offices, and local dining, including spots like Honky Tonk Texas that double as social hubs. For a quieter pace, Kountze and rural areas provide more space and a stronger country feel without losing access to services.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Residents spend weekends at Village Creek State Park for paddling, hiking, and camping, or explore the Big Thicket National Preserve, known for its biodiversity and boardwalk trails. Local events and history programming are supported by places like the Big Thicket History Museum and the Kountze Public Library.
Whether you are relocating for work, moving up for more space, or downsizing after years in the area, understanding flood zones, school attendance lines, and backroad commute routes is crucial. Agent Pronto connects you with a local Hardin County real estate agent who knows these details, helping both buyers and sellers move forward with less stress and more confidence.

“Ann Weaver went far beyond our expectations. After recent previous experiences with other agents I was beginning to believe someone as great as her was only a fantasy. Seriously. My wife and I were so happy to have found her from the beginning to the end of our time with her. It was amazing seeing how resourceful and aggressive she was for us. She made it look easy.”
“The home-buying process seemed so intimidating, but once we started working with Aundrea Hartzog, all our worries disappeared. The time, attention to detail, and dedication she showed throughout the entire process were incredible. She made everything so easy, and whenever we had questions, she responded quickly and with exceptional knowledge. We could not have asked for a better realtor and would recommend her time and time again to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. The friendly and calming demeanor she brought to every step of the process was a tremendous help to my wife and me. She left no stone unturned, taking the time to explain everything in a way that we could truly understand. That level of commitment, communication, and professionalism cannot be overstated. Aundrea went above and beyond for us, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out.”
“Alan is the best hard working, knowledgeable, helpful, he found the perfect house we were looking for on my budget, and taught me a lot about the home buying process. Very greatful that we got linked to him he truly does have buyers best interest in mind at all times always there when you have a question.”
“Jamie Rodriguez negotiated several offers only for the buyer to change their minds but hung in with us till we found the right buyer”
“Jannine Osborne is very knowlegable in all aspects of the Real Estate process. An expert in coastal and second homes and all the unique steps involved in those type of properties.”
“The entire process went so smoothly. We first had a meeting because we needed to see where we stood in the market and what we needed to get done before listing. It took us a while to get to the listing point but we had regular check ins ready to answer any of our questions. The house was not even on the market a full week before we had accepted an offer. We could not have asked for a better sales team. Everything went absolutely perfectly! 100% recommend to anyone ready to sell or purchase.”
“We had one day to come into town to find a home. Kim lined up all the homesthat matched our requirement prior to our visit to go through and narrow down. The day of the trip, Kim had all the house appointments lined up and within 4 hours we had found our home. We would highly recommend Kim and if we ever need to sell or buy again in the Houston area we will use here again.”
“Lynn is extremely professional and great to work with. She considers all aspects of the transaction to help get what we want. She has incredible industry experience and that helps set her above the bar. She is kind and we can't thank her enough for going above and beyond for us. We will 100% use Lynn for any future transactions!”
“Great person to work with.”
“Jamie was such a great leader through the process! I was personally a bit overwhelmed and anxious about buying my first home but Jamie helped keep things fun and exciting. Having an additional point of contact on her team with Tiya was so helpful to feel like a had a full team working towards my best interests. Definitely would recommend.”
“From beginning to end Julie was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We were moving to Texas from Virginia so her local and state knowledge was invaluable. She presented a good variety of homes that fit our needs in the areas we were interested in and when we chose one she was on top of everything particularly keeping the momentum going with a less responsive seller/seller agent and enabling us to close in a timely manner and at a good price for the area we chose. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants a smooth home buying/selling experience, she is the best we have experienced and we have bought and sold a few houses over the years. Thank you Julie, we love our new home.”
“Dear Justin, dealing with you is a wonderful experience defined by honesty and integrity; I wish you the best of luck and success.”
“Leslie Crittenden went above and beyond to make sure our house sold quickly and for a great price. She staged our empty home with decorator items so the buyers could see how it might look if lived in. Everything she brought was bright and cheery and homey. Her marketing photos and video were exceptional. She walked us through how to fill out all the paperwork, giving advice where needed. She always kept us informed as we went through the process. She advised us on negotiations and fought for a higher appraisal. She “went to bat” for us! She was very compassionate as we emotionally let go of the house we had lived in for 38 years. We were very pleased with her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the selling process. We always felt comfortable with Leslie. She is funny and outgoing, a great listener, encouraging, generous, and kind. It was a pleasure working with her! We would give Leslie the highest recommendation possible.”
“Amazing service, kept me updated at all times and went out of her way to help me get through the process.”
“Cassandra was a true professional. She always responded in a timely manner and was willing to meet us anytime, anywhere in our quest for the perfect house. I truly respect the job she did and the way in which she handled herself throughout the process. We are truly grateful for her hard work and dedication.”
“Meaghan has worked with us for a very long time. We have used her services for buying and selling properties. She was so patient, always willing to go above and beyond, and step in when advice was needed. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone needing a realtor!”

“Laura is my realtor. Looking forward to my next purchase in 30-60 days.”
“Carl Turner did such an amazing job going over and beyond what one would expect in a great realtor. He is very attentive, professional, courteous, patient, adaptable, and clearly knows how to find what his clients are looking for and more. He treated our new home as if it were his own and his communication was impeccable. Our family HIGHLY recommends his services and we look forward to working with him on the sell of our other property.”
“My realtor, Sandra Hall, was absolutely awesome! She sold my home in just seven days and seamlessly transitioned me into a fantastic new one incredibly fast. Sandra made sure I got everything I needed and everything I wanted out of both transactions. Throughout the entire process, she was highly professional, efficient, and precise with every detail to ensure a smooth transition. I would definitely recommend Sandra to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
