Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Jefferson County’s housing supply is tightening, with 634 homes on the market and inventory down about 5.65% from last month. New listings dipped 13.29% year over year to 261, while 249 homes went under contract, a modest 2.89% increase in pending sales. With months of supply at 3.5 and a Seller's Market gauge of 25, conditions are leaning toward sellers even as buyers still have some options.
Pricing is responding to these shifts, as the typical home value has climbed to about $225,000, up 15.38% from last year and 12.5% in just one month. The median list price sits near $229,900, rising an estimated 12.15% month over month, while homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market stretching to 78 and up more than 70% from a year ago.
Sellers are still achieving prices close to asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio around 0.98, though only about 3% of homes are closing above list and nearly 29% have had price drops. Compared with the Texas average home value of roughly $342,400, Jefferson County offers relatively lower price points even as values are projected to edge higher next month, with a typical value near $237,500 and median list price around $242,350. With projected inventory around 615 homes, both buyers and sellers in Jefferson County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local real estate agent who understands these evolving conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Jefferson County offers residents a welcoming community with diverse outdoor recreation, strong local services, and ample opportunities for work, education, and everyday life.
Jefferson County stands out along the upper Gulf Coast with its true mix of port cities, industrial strength, and tight knit neighborhoods that feel more personal than larger nearby metros. From the refineries along the ship channel to quiet streets shaded by live oaks, the area offers a strong sense of local pride and history.
In Jefferson County, residents split their time between work along the waterways and weekends exploring nature and local cuisine. In Beaumont, families gather at Tyrrell Park and Cattail Marsh for birding, walking trails, and wide open green space. The Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum shares the oil boom story that shaped the region, while Downtown Beaumont continues to add restaurants, music, and events that draw longtime locals and newcomers alike.
To the south in Port Arthur, waterfront access and fishing are everyday pleasures. Sabine Lake and Sea Rim State Park offer kayaking, camping, and quiet stretches of coastline that feel far from city pressures. Neighborhoods across the county range from established, tree lined streets to newer subdivisions near major employers and schools such as Lamar University.
With industry investment, evolving neighborhoods, and limited supply in some price ranges, timing and preparation matter more than ever. Agent Pronto connects Jefferson County buyers and sellers with the right local real estate agent so you can plan ahead and move with confidence.
See why so many people rely on Agent Pronto to make their real estate journey a success.
“I simply cannot recommend Michael Lemley enough!! I have bought and sold multiple properties, I have had good experiences. However, to say that Michael went above and beyond would be an absolute understatement. Michael was hands down the most knowledgeable, detailed, and most marketable agent I have ever worked with. I would highly recommend Michael, and I can't thank him enough!”
“Kathy is wonderful! A true warrior that you want fighting for you!”
“Working with Jamie and her team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had my best interest at heart throughout the entire process. Every question was answered promptly, every detail was handled professionally, and I always felt confident in the guidance I received. Thanks to Jamie Simpson and Tiya Nguyen the process was smooth, stress-free, and successful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Matt was such a great realtor. He was professional, He was personable, He looked out for my best interest being it was my first time buying a home.”
“Justin was the best! I worked with him on a referral and he went above and beyond. He helped my clients move from South Carolina to Texas and everything was very smooth. I would definitely recommend Justin in the future and looking forward to hopefully working together again.! Thanks Justin!”

He committed to understand and accommodate our specific needs and preferences. He went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable Realtor.”

“Amy Patton assisted our church in the sale of our parsonage. In our initial meetings, she came across as a "Professional." We had contacted another Realtor at a very successful brokerage, but that person was, it seemed, a bit too successful, in that she set up an appointment, but failed to show, with no communication as to why, both before and after. Communication is the key, and that particular agent failed miserably. Amy Patton, throughout the entire process, never failed to communicate, responding to questions, situations, and, in general, shepherding our flock through the process flawlessly. There were a couple of hiccups that she took in stride, responded to and kept those who needed to know in the loop, As for other aspects of the sale, pricing, negotiations, clientele, etc., Amy was nearly impeccable, which was to be expected from an agent of her abilities and knowledge. It would be impossible to find a better Realtor to serve our needs.”
“I would like to recognize realtor Misti Rios .Her business is as big as selling a house . If someone is out there seeking a Realtor please don't hesitate contacting Misti Rios , part of River City Team Keller Williams Heritage. The welcoming attitude she carries we had no problem in contacting her at different hours . In closing thank you for taking time for us Seniors Rick and Raquel Olivares .”
“We had a plan to slow down and move to a smaller town. Greg and Lynanna Messer took charge and made everything smooth for us being that we were doing everything remote. From suggesting things to fix before the inspector got there, to adding accents in the house to make it home and cozy for the showing. We put the home on the market Monday morning and by 1:00 we had an offer. We could not have been more impressed with they way this sale of our home had gone so quickly.”
“Esanet Benedict was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgable, super detail oriented, and you could tell she knew what she was doing/how experienced she is. Every house we'd look at, she'd be able to tell what was wrong with it and things to look out for. She's extremely accomodating and can work with your schedule, and she really does do her best to find you exactly what you're looking for- a house that will fit all your needs. She made the daunting process of house searching and buying smooth sailing. I'm a young buyer, so she made sure I was always informed about things I wouldn't have even thought about. She worked with us so well and not to mention, she is extremely sweet and friendly and had us laughing throughout the process. I've already recommended her to my brother and a friend who are also in the house buying process.”
“The process of selling my family home, was very sentimental to me and I personally explained that to Maria. She was very understanding and supportive and took on the role as not only my realtor but as a friend. She is so knowledgeable and helped answer every question I had. Maria, went above and beyond and reassured me that this would be an applicable process and it was!”
“Rickey and his Team were amazing! Always went the extra mile to help us sell our home. Was always available to talk me through the process. I have bought and sold several homes, and he and his Team gave me by far the best experience I have had selling a home.”
“What a great first time home buyer experience.”
“Keko made selling my mom's house easy and quick and because I live some distance away, he was available to help prepare the house for sale. Strongly recommended.”
“I am a first time home buyer and I can not imagine using anyone other than Nadine.
