Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Howard County real estate market. *
April 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 (Apr 2026).
Howard County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Typical home values are well below the Texas median, yet they have jumped sharply over the past year. At the same time, an unusually high months of supply figure signals that inventory is not moving quickly overall.
Recent pricing trends highlight how volatile the area has been. The typical home value in April rose more than 120 percent year over year, while the median list price increased only modestly, suggesting sellers are still adjusting to rapid value changes. Inventory grew nearly 20 percent compared with last year, and months of supply surged dramatically over that period, pointing to many more homes sitting on the market.
Sales activity tells a different story, with demand appearing selective. Only one home sold in April and sales are down more than 60 percent from a year ago, yet pending sales are up over 80 percent and new listings climbed more than 40 percent, showing a pipeline of future closings. Homes that do sell are moving very quickly, with the median days on market dropping to zero and about one in five listings going off the market within two weeks. In this unusual mix of rising values, ample inventory, and spotty closings, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto connecting them with an experienced local agent.
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.

“Jamie was such a great leader through the process! I was personally a bit overwhelmed and anxious about buying my first home but Jamie helped keep things fun and exciting. Having an additional point of contact on her team with Tiya was so helpful to feel like a had a full team working towards my best interests. Definitely would recommend.”
“From beginning to end Julie was amazing and exceeded our expectations. We were moving to Texas from Virginia so her local and state knowledge was invaluable. She presented a good variety of homes that fit our needs in the areas we were interested in and when we chose one she was on top of everything particularly keeping the momentum going with a less responsive seller/seller agent and enabling us to close in a timely manner and at a good price for the area we chose. We would highly recommend Julie to anyone who wants a smooth home buying/selling experience, she is the best we have experienced and we have bought and sold a few houses over the years. Thank you Julie, we love our new home.”
“Dear Justin, dealing with you is a wonderful experience defined by honesty and integrity; I wish you the best of luck and success.”
“Leslie Crittenden went above and beyond to make sure our house sold quickly and for a great price. She staged our empty home with decorator items so the buyers could see how it might look if lived in. Everything she brought was bright and cheery and homey. Her marketing photos and video were exceptional. She walked us through how to fill out all the paperwork, giving advice where needed. She always kept us informed as we went through the process. She advised us on negotiations and fought for a higher appraisal. She “went to bat” for us! She was very compassionate as we emotionally let go of the house we had lived in for 38 years. We were very pleased with her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the selling process. We always felt comfortable with Leslie. She is funny and outgoing, a great listener, encouraging, generous, and kind. It was a pleasure working with her! We would give Leslie the highest recommendation possible.”

This transaction presented several challenges along the way, but Sandra remained proactive and worked diligently to keep things moving forward. She was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer practical solutions whenever issues arose. Her communication throughout the process was excellent, and we always felt informed and confident in the next steps. We especially appreciated the extra effort she put into marketing the property, coordinating with all parties involved, and helping navigate the complexities of the transaction.

From helping coordinate the work needed to get the property ready to list, all the way through closing, he worked incredibly hard on my behalf to make sure the property sold successfully.
