Central Houston real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Central Houston real estate market, updated for March 2026. *

Central Houston is seeing a steady level of homes available, with about 1,391 properties on the market and 1,189 new listings in February 2026. Contract activity is cooler than last year, with 798 pending sales and a 17.82% drop in pending deals compared to a year ago, while new listings are down even more by 29.31%.

Pricing is adjusting to this softer flow, as the typical home value sits around $562,000, down 6.32% year over year and 0.18% month over month. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with the median days on market at 71, up 44.9% from last year and 14.52% from the prior month, signaling that buyers have more time to make decisions.

Even with these shifts, Central Houston still carries a premium over the broader Houston city, where the typical home value is closer to $341,000. Only about 7.9% of homes are selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is roughly 0.97, indicating that sellers are often negotiating from their initial asking prices in what is still labeled a seller's market. With projected inventory holding around 1,394 homes and list prices edging toward $567,350 next month, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto expert who can match them with the right local agent for these conditions.

“Amy is one of those agents that gets what you want from your first phone call. Her knowledge and experience were fantastic, she not only helped us understand the proxess as first time buyers. She also tells us what to look for and what to watch out for. She cares about her clients and doesn't see them as another number or another commission. I appreciate her honesty and ability to call out things that are out of the order. I recommend Amy any day and will work her with her again for any real estate matters.”
