Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hardin County real estate market. *
September 2026
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 (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Hardin County’s typical home value has dropped sharply, falling a little over 22 percent, while the Texas statewide median dipped only slightly. Even with this price reset, the median list price is down just a bit from last year, suggesting sellers are still testing higher asking prices than recent closings support.
In the latest month of September 2026, 49 homes sold and 64 new listings came on the market, with total active listings edging down about 12 percent from a year ago. Days on market have been cut nearly in half over the past year to a median of 39 days, pointing to faster-moving deals even as the state overall carries a higher 5.7 months of supply compared with Hardin County’s 4.3 months.
Pending sales have cooled notably, dropping about 22 percent year-over-year and sliding steeply from August, and only around 2 percent of homes are closing above list price with sale-to-list ratios just under 95 percent. With Hardin County currently tilted toward buyers according to the market gauge, yet still showing quicker market times for well-priced homes, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting local dynamics.
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.

“I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn Imes for anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and hard-working real estate professional. From the moment we talked on the phone to go over what my wife and I were looking for I knew I was in good hands. Not only did she have an in-depth understanding of the market, but she also took the time to truly understand my needs and priorities, ensuring the process was smooth from start to finish. Her dedication was relentless in finding the perfect new property for my wife and I. She set up 28 home to view in 2 days. She had the timing down for lunch and provided drinks and snacks. Dawn went above and beyond to ensure we were getting the best deal and advised on many pitfalls based on her years of experience. Dawn was key in negotiating with builders or advocating on my behalf with the escrow company. Dawn fought tirelessly to save me money and ensure I was getting the best possible outcome. We were so happy with Dawn that we sold our house with her too. She pulled up comps and I was surprised the high value in my area. Dawn made everything easy and convenient with the sale of the house. Her exceptional communication, industry knowledge, and commitment to her clients are unmatched. I am incredibly grateful for her hard work and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dawn is more than a real estate agent. She’s family. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who will put in the effort and go the extra mile for you, I highly recommend Dawn Imes.”
