Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Matagorda County real estate market. *
August 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 (Aug 2026).
Matagorda County currently leans strongly toward buyers, with the market gauge labeled a buyer's market. Inventory is high at about 10 months of supply, roughly double the 5.7 months seen statewide in Texas. Homes are also taking a long time to sell, with a median of 167 days on the market.
Prices and listing activity show a mixed picture. The typical home value is down nearly 12 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price has climbed almost 24 percent over the same period, suggesting sellers are aiming higher even as closed values soften. At the same time, new listings are up nearly 28 percent year over year while homes sold have dropped about 22 percent, adding to the buildup of inventory and giving buyers more options and negotiating room.
Momentum indicators underline how slowly the market is moving. Months of supply have surged more than 300 percent compared with last year, and the average sale-to-list price ratio has slipped to just over 91 percent, with only about 12 percent of homes selling above list price. With pending sales only slightly higher than last year and a relatively low share of homes going under contract within two weeks, both buyers and sellers in Matagorda County can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation effectively.
Matagorda County offers residents a welcoming community, abundant outdoor recreation, and diverse opportunities in agriculture, energy, and local business, contributing to a high quality of life.
Matagorda County offers a quieter, more authentic coastal experience than larger nearby destinations like Houston or Galveston, with a strong sense of community that still feels connected to major job centers. From the wide beaches of Matagorda Bay Nature Park to the fishing piers along the Colorado River, outdoor life is central to daily living.
Bay City serves as the county seat and a practical hub, with local events at the Bay City Civic Center and family programs at the Bay City Public Library. Nearby Palacios offers waterfront dining and a strong shrimping heritage, while Matagorda attracts anglers and weekend residents seeking bay and beach access. Parks like Le Tulle Park and South Bay Marina support boating, picnics, and youth sports.
Local schools, including Bay City ISD and Palacios ISD, help anchor long term residents, while ongoing industrial and port activity along the Gulf Coast draws new workers and investors. Housing ranges from established in town neighborhoods in Bay City to waterfront properties and rural acreage.
Whether you are planning a first purchase, moving for work, or considering selling a long held family home, timing and preparation are crucial in this coastal market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a Matagorda County real estate agent who understands local conditions and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.

Kelly made some recommendations and then listened to our feedback to help us find the best house for us on the market. She was available for our first visit from out of state the weekend after we were refferred which was of great help to us.
