Year-over-year, University Place has seen strong price appreciation, with the typical home value up more than 20 percent in this rolling three-month view. At the same time, median list prices are up at a slower pace, suggesting sellers are not raising asking prices as quickly as closed sales are rising. Compared with the broader Houston market, where prices are up only a few percent, University Place is experiencing much faster value growth.
Looking at the latest rolling period ending in July 2026, inventory and sales activity are both higher than a year ago. Active listings have climbed more than 25 percent, and homes sold are up by a similar share, indicating more options and more completed deals. New listings have jumped over 30 percent year-over-year, while pending sales are up nearly 40 percent, highlighting strong buyer interest even as supply expands. Months of supply has fallen sharply from year-ago levels to about 3.7 months, reinforcing the current seller’s market reading.
Conditions on the ground show a market that is active but not overheated. Homes are taking a median of 34 days to sell in this rolling three-month window, much longer than a year ago, and only about 14 percent of properties are closing above list price, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 97 percent. These details point to a setting where pricing strategy and negotiation matter for both sides.
