Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Houston currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 34 on the scale. A typical home value sits around $341,800, slightly lower than a year ago. Listing prices have held relatively steady year over year, even as the pace of sales has cooled.
In this rolling three-month view through September 2026, buyers are seeing more breathing room. Months of supply has climbed to 6, which is roughly 39 percent higher than a year ago, and homes now spend a median of 49 days on the market, up from 35 days last September. Fewer properties are moving quickly, with only about 24 percent going off the market within two weeks.
Sales activity has pulled back compared with last year, with homes sold down about 9 percent and pending sales down 13 percent, while new listings have also eased slightly. Only about 11 percent of homes are selling above list price, a much smaller share than a few years ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio is holding just under 97 percent. These trends point to sellers needing realistic pricing strategies and buyers gaining more room to negotiate, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced Houston agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Houston offers residents a dynamic blend of diverse neighborhoods, a thriving arts and culinary scene, strong job opportunities, and a welcoming, collaborative community.
Houston stands apart from nearby suburbs through its mix of true urban energy, distinctive neighborhoods, and a strong sense of local pride. From the glass towers of downtown to the tree lined streets of the Heights, the city offers a pace and personality that feels different from Katy, Sugar Land, or The Woodlands.
Many residents center their lives around local institutions and green spaces, like Buffalo Bayou Park, Hermann Park, and the museums around Houston Museum District. Families appreciate access to schools in Houston ISD, respected medical facilities in the Texas Medical Center, and neighborhood libraries such as Houston Public Library. Sports and cultural events at Minute Maid Park and Houston Theater District give residents big city amenities without losing a sense of community.
Local identity is often tied to your part of town. In-town buyers look closely at areas like Montrose and Midtown for walkability and nightlife. Others focus on space and schools in neighborhoods such as West University or family oriented pockets of Harris County.
Whether you already call Houston home or are planning a move in, timing and preparation matter in this large and fast moving market. The right local real estate agent can help you understand neighborhood trends, pricing, and competition so you can act confidently. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with agents who are ready to guide each step.

We're forever grateful to Lakesha Dibble and her contact information will be shared with anyone and everyone I come across looking into buying property.”
“Zahily was amazing. I was trying to purchase a rental property and was having issues finding an agent that would follow through with what the current rent was or the bills, etc... Zahily answered the phone and once I explained what I was looking for she was on the case. She send me dozens of properties and all the info I needed to make an informed decision. In the end we bought two rental properties next to each other. She made the whole process easy and she is on top of it. Highly recommend!!”

“We LOVE Cherri! We're so incredibly blessed and thankful for her and her part in getting us into our first home! From start to finish she has been incredibly helpful and informative. Even well after closing she still checks on us. We greatly value her patience, her communication, and her efforts at getting us what we were wanting and in such a quick and efficient way that didn't make the process feel rushed. Instead the whole process felt like a smooth transition each step of the way and I attest that to Cherri's professionalism and knowledge of her craft!”
“Lindsey helped me navigate through the buying process, especially as a first-time buyer. She wasn't pushy or anything like that and was responsive to all my questions regarding the home-buying process and related matters such as insurance and inspection. If I am to buy a property again, I would very likely go with Lindsey again. Highly recommended!”

“Great agent who looked out for my interests and helped me and my wife find a new home. Ashley worked with us and our quirky requests to help us find a home in the area we wanted to live. There were many Start and Stops along the way, but Ashley was ready to go and get things done as we needed.”

“My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Lance Johnson during an extended search and ultimate purchase of a condo in Houston. We had very particular requirements purchasing a second home on a budget, and Lance tirelessly arranged for multiple viewings of properties. Throughout the process Lance was personable and attentive, and completely respectful of our wishes. Lance was a trusted advocate negotiating offers, and a valuable resource arranging local service providers to remediate minor inspection issues in the home we purchased.”
“Janis and her assistant Maria were responsive, organized, and always on top of things. Janis is knowledgeable and friendly, and easy to work with throughout. She recommended a list price higher than we had in mind, explained exactly why, and the market proved her right. The house sold in three days for cash. She also helped with staging and negotiated well on our behalf. Great experience overall. We'd use her again and happily refer her.”
“Angela (Angie) was amazing. From our first meeting through to closing, she was prompt, courteous, professional and understood the market and how best to position our home to meet our goals. We highly recommend Angie and the whole Jill Smith Team who supported the sale from staging to pictures to online updates and social media. It was a team effort that exceeded our expectations.”
“Laura is hands down the best realtor! This is our second time working with her, both to buy our new home and sell our previous one. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to answer our questions and walk us through every step. She truly listened to our family’s needs and made the whole process so much easier. We’re so grateful for her and her team and look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE GLAPAS FOR ALL YOUR REAL ESTATE NEEDS!!!! I've been working the Glapa team since 2019. They've been my landlords, but buying agents, and selling agents, for single family residence and for multi-family units. They truly are full service and I'm confident that their involvement in my transactions helped secure the sales and at the best price possible.”
“I was moving for a work relocation and needed to find a house that suited our needs ASAP. Kelly made some recommendations and then listened to our feedback to help us find the best house for us on the market. She was available for our first visit from out of state the weekend after we were refferred which was of great help to us. She was very well organized and always found items both good and bad to point out about the houses that we hadnt noticed. She also managed all of our inspections since we couldnt be present (out of state). We were able to view and purchase the house in time to have our house for my move by date and not have to get an apartment just to start work.”
“Esanet Benedict is a rock star agent in my opinion. Everything went so smooth. I never dreamed my house would sell so fast. She was by my side every step of the way. I would never use anyone else as my realtor. Thank you Esy, for doing such a fantastic job with my home. It meant the world to me.”
