Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Howard County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Howard County currently leans strongly toward buyers, with the market gauge signaling a clear buyer’s market. Inventory is extremely high, with about 172 months of supply compared with roughly 5.8 months across Texas overall. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with the median days on market jumping to 102 days in July.
Listing prices have pushed higher even as conditions favor buyers, with the median list price up more than 13 percent from June and nearly 64 percent over the past year. At the same time, the typical home value based on recent sales dropped sharply month over month, and the average sale-to-list price ratio sits below 90 percent, indicating buyers often negotiate meaningful discounts.
Activity has cooled on both sides of the table. Only one home sold in July and pending sales fell more than 30 percent from the prior month, while new listings also slipped, down nearly 18 percent from a year earlier. Even so, about a quarter of homes that do sell go off the market within two weeks, suggesting well-priced properties still move. With so many mixed signals for pricing, timing, and leverage, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands how to navigate Howard County’s shifting market.
Howard County offers residents a close-knit community with rural charm, accessible local services, abundant outdoor recreation, and opportunities to build a fulfilling life.
Howard County stands out in West Texas for its mix of deep oilfield roots and tight community ties, offering a more close-knit feel than larger nearby hubs like Midland and Odessa. Centered around Big Spring, the county blends working-class resilience with expanding amenities that appeal to longtime residents and new arrivals alike.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Families gather at Big Spring State Park for canyon views, walking trails, and sweeping sunsets, while Comanche Trail Park offers fishing, playgrounds, and disc golf around the spring-fed lake. The City of Big Spring supports a full calendar of events, from holiday festivals to youth sports, that help newcomers quickly feel part of the community.
Education and culture add another layer of appeal. Howard College offers local higher education and workforce programs, and the Heritage Museum of Big Spring showcases ranching, rail, and military history that still shape daily life. Neighborhoods range from established streets near the historic downtown to newer construction on the edges of town, giving buyers a variety of price points and styles.
Whether you are weighing a move to Howard County or preparing to sell, timing and preparation matter in a market tied closely to regional energy trends. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local real estate professional who understands these cycles and how to navigate them.
