Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Henderson County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Henderson County is projected to be $285,000 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $290,000—up 2.29% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $329,600 in Texas for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $324,200 in February.
Henderson County had 118 new listings and 59 listings that went under contract in January, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 587—up 0.86% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in February.
Of those 587 active listings, 24.19% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Henderson County grew 2.09% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $302,450. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 132 days, compared to 123 days in January 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Henderson County stands apart from nearby rural counties by offering a true blend of small‑town life and active lake culture.

Athens anchors the area with amenities like the City of Athens services, the family‑friendly Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, and the scenic Athens Scenic Trails.

Quality of life is shaped by local schools like Athens ISD and Malakoff ISD, active youth sports, and a steady calendar of events at places such as Athens Municipal Water Park. Property types range from in‑town cottages and established subdivisions to lakefront homes and acreage, which gives both first‑time buyers and long‑time residents options as needs change.
With prices, inventory, and demand moving quickly in desirable pockets around the lakes and in Athens, timing and preparation matter.
