Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Inventory in Central Houston is moderate, with about 3,174 active listings in this rolling three-month view and months of supply near 4.8, slightly lower than a year ago. Contract activity has eased, as pending sales are down sharply year over year while homes sold dipped only slightly, hinting at a cooler pipeline than last summer.

Prices have been relatively resilient, with the typical home value up a few percent year over year even as the median list price is edging down compared with last year. Sellers are conceding a bit more, as the average sale-to-list ratio hovers around 97% and only about 11% of homes close above asking, a noticeably smaller share than in 2023.

Buyers now have more time to decide, since the median days on market has lengthened to about a month and a half in the latest three-month window, far slower than the quick sales seen in 2023. Compared with the wider Houston market, Central Houston remains higher-priced but with slightly tighter supply, which can shape both expectations and strategies on each side of the table. Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate the Central Houston market with confidence.

“Amy has been my realtor on two house sales. She is an outstanding realtor always responsive, helpful and works extremely hard to find and work with buyers and buyers agents. She is always couteous and professional with all parties involved in the sale. I believe her property value assessments and superior marketing skills are what sets her apart from other realtors. Her work on my behalf resulted in a much higher sales price than expected on one of my houses, and a faster than expected sales closing on another. I highly recommend Amy as a good to realtor. You will not be disappointed.”
