Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Houston County real estate market. *
June 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 (Jun 2026).
Year-over-year, Houston County home values are up, with the typical home value rising more than 15 percent since last June. Listing prices have moved the opposite direction, dropping about 19 percent over the same period, which may be helping more buyers get into the market. Activity levels are higher than a year ago, with homes sold nearly doubling and new listings more than doubling.
In June 2026, the typical home value in Houston County was about $190,000, while the median list price was roughly $259,000. Inventory totaled 118 active listings and months of supply stood near 6.9, putting the area in buyer’s market territory compared with the broader Texas market at 5.4 months of supply.
Recent monthly shifts highlight how dynamic conditions are. Homes sold jumped sharply from May to June, while pending sales dropped and the median days on market surged to 323 days, suggesting many properties are taking longer to find the right buyer. No homes sold above list in June and the average sale-to-list ratio edged down to about 91 percent, indicating buyers often have room to negotiate. With prices, inventory, and timing all moving in different directions, both buyers and sellers in Houston County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a real estate agent who understands these trends.
Houston County offers residents a welcoming sense of community, abundant outdoor spaces and recreational options, local businesses and services that support everyday life, and a relaxed, family-friendly small-town lifestyle.
Houston County offers a distinctly rural East Texas experience compared with nearby counties that lean more suburban or urban. Centered around Crockett, the county blends deep historical roots with practical conveniences, giving residents room to breathe while staying connected to Lufkin and Palestine. Life here moves at a steadier pace, with strong ties between neighbors, schools, and local businesses.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Houston County shares access to Davy Crockett National Forest, miles of hiking and horse trails, and nearby Houston County Lake for fishing and boating. Families value local schools such as Crockett ISD and Latexo ISD, and many residents gather for community events at the Houston County Fairgrounds and around the historic Crockett downtown square. Everyday needs are met by small-town shops, markets, and locally owned restaurants that reinforce the county’s close-knit feel.
For buyers, understanding differences between in-town Crockett neighborhoods, acreage properties in Grapeland, and lake area homes near Lovelady or Kennard can shape long term satisfaction. Sellers benefit from pricing that reflects current demand for country homes and recreational tracts, especially as more people look just beyond Harris County for space and value. Whether you are planning a move or weighing a sale, connecting early with the right local agent through Agent Pronto helps you time the market and prepare with confidence for your next step.

“I'm a first time home buyer, I was moving from out of state and needed a quick sale. So Yong set up probably 10 homes to view and the one I liked turned out the owner wanted the same. She negotiated keeping the fridge on my behalf and even set me up with a thorough inspector for my home inspection. She was extremely professional and available during the process. I would gladly refer So Yong to others in the area.”
“Sandra was an amazing realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable, meticulous, organized and put a ton of care and effort into finding us our house. Sandra was on top of the paperwork with the lenders and others involved. Sandra went above and beyond what we expected and will 100% be using her for our next investment. Thank you!”
“When deciding who to go with to sell our home, there was no question. My family always chooses Cherri' for buying and selling land and property. She is not only a trusted guide for all things real estate, she is also respected figure of our community. She deeply cares about helping people through so much more than just the buying and selling process. She knows the ins and outs, the why's, the how's, and everything in between. She sold our home quickly, and gave us a stress free experience, like she always does. We were able to focus on our move and getting our kids going at their new schools.”
“Met Martha 10 years ago when we first thought my husband's job was moving us to San Antonio. After spending 9 years somewhere else, we got the nod for SA. Martha was there from the word "Go". Sending new listings and patiently working for about 6 months until we finally closed on our perfect home. She has contacts for everything you will ever need.”

Misti truly went above and beyond to help us find the right home that met all of our needs. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cared about finding the perfect fit for our family. We always felt like she had our best interests at heart and that we were in great hands throughout the entire process. From selling our previous home to buying our new one, Misti and her team have been incredible every step of the way.

“Bryan did extensive research of the area and provided a superior analysis of my property's value. This information was critical for maximizing showings and holding true to the property's value. Bryan is an exceptional communicator therefore he obtained feedback for every showing. Once under contract he was spot on with handling paperwork and closing details. I recommend Bryan Burke for his attention to detail, real estate knowledge, and communication skills to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.”

“Robert went out of his way to accommodate us. We were living in Illinois and saw the houses online. Numerous times he went out and measured different areas and different things for us. I couldn't be more satisfied with Robert. I definitely would not have any problems recommending him. I have bought several houses and no other agent has put forth the effort like Robert.”
“Nick was amazing from start to finish. We were relocating to DFW from out of state, and he went above and beyond to make a very stressful process so much easier for our family. He showed me countless homes, listened to all of my must haves, and really took the time to understand what our family needed. He even showed me different areas around DFW to help us find the right community. Once we found our home, he helped us negotiate a great deal, advocated for us, and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. His knowledge and connections in the community were invaluable, especially being new to the area. He connected us with contractors and inspectors we could trust and was always there when we needed him. Nick is patient, responsive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients. He went far beyond what I expected from a realtor, and I’m so grateful for everything he did for our family. I would recommend him without a second thought!”
