Prices in The Museum District have eased over the past year, with the typical home value over the rolling three-month period ending in July 2026 down about 10 percent year over year, even as values have ticked up slightly in recent months. List prices have followed a similar path, dipping around 6 percent from a year ago.
Sales activity has slowed notably. The number of homes sold in this rolling three-month window is down nearly 40 percent compared with last year, and pending sales have fallen by more than a quarter over the same period. New listings are also lower year over year, declining about 22 percent, leaving buyers with fewer fresh options even as overall conditions cool.
Signs point to a more balanced, slower-paced environment. Inventory has grown looser over time, with months of supply up sharply from a year ago to about six and a half months, and homes now take a median of 38 days to go under contract, far longer than last year. The average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 97 percent, and none of the recent sales closed above asking, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations while buyers gain negotiating room. Because trends here differ from the broader Houston market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding an agent who understands The Museum District’s current dynamics.
