Northside-Northline is showing a steady flow of homes despite some cooling in activity. February saw about 88 homes on the market, with 67 new listings and 42 going under contract, and inventory is projected to hold around 88 in March. Fewer new listings than a year ago, down about 22 percent, suggest buyers have less fresh choice than before.
Prices are responding to this balance between supply and demand. Typical home values sit near $260,000, roughly $81,000 below the broader Houston figure of about $341,000, and they’ve climbed about 31.65 percent over the past year with nearly 8 percent growth in just the last month. Sellers are still asking slightly more, with a median list price around $264,000 that is projected to edge up to about $266,000 next month.
Homes are taking time to move, spending a typical 93 days on the market, yet that timeline shortened by about 7 percent compared with the prior month even as it lengthened over the past year. Only about 16 percent of recent sales closed above asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is near 0.96, signaling that negotiation remains part of most deals even in a seller-leaning environment. With the area classified as a seller’s market on the local gauge, both buyers seeking value and sellers aiming to capture recent gains can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to guide them.
