Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Matagorda County real estate market. *
June 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 (Jun 2026).
Matagorda County currently leans strongly in favor of buyers, with the market gauge signaling a clear buyer’s market. Months of supply has risen to 9, well above the 5.4 months seen across Texas. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with a median of 116 days on the market.
Prices show some softness while activity shifts. The typical home value sits around the mid-$200,000s and is down slightly from a year ago, while the median list price has also declined year over year. At the same time, active listings are up more than 16 percent from last June, giving buyers more options. New listings have surged by nearly half compared with a year earlier, yet pending sales are down year over year, indicating that inventory is building faster than demand.
Sales trends highlight a slower pace but also pockets of movement. Homes sold in June are up modestly compared with last year, but sale prices are averaging about 94 percent of list, and only a small share are closing above asking. A relatively low off-market-in-two-weeks share underscores that buyers generally have time to compare properties and negotiate. With so many moving pieces in Matagorda County’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands these trends.
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.

“Steve Creech is great!! I was totally in the dark on how the process of buying a home went and he literally took me by the hand and led me through the process. He answered all of my questions and took the time to explain things in terms I could clearly understand. If you are looking for someone who will go the extra mile for you Steve is your guy.”
“The Sarah Padgett team was amazing from beginning to end. The team was professional, courtious, and experts in state of the housing market. I would highly recommend the Sara Padgett team.”
“Cherri was everything you want in a realtor. She went above and beyond in helping us sell our home and purchasing a new one. She was knowledgeable, professional and fun! She is so sweet and put so much thought/care into our needs. I have recommended her to several people if they ever ask for a realtor because we had such a great experience.”
“Bryan did extensive research of the area and provided a superior analysis of my property's value. This information was critical for maximizing showings and holding true to the property's value. Bryan is an exceptional communicator therefore he obtained feedback for every showing. Once under contract he was spot on with handling paperwork and closing details. I recommend Bryan Burke for his attention to detail, real estate knowledge, and communication skills to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.”
“So Yong was super helpful and informative during the process of buying our first home!”
“Dane was highly communicative, responsive, and professional, ensuring I always knew what was happening and what to expect. His guidance and expertise were invaluable, particularly when it came to developing a comprehensive marketing package that showcased my home in the best possible light. Dane's use of innovative and effective marketing tools sets him apart. His strategic approach generated significant exposure for my property and delivered results beyond my expectations. Thanks to his efforts, my home sold much faster than I anticipated and notably quicker than many of the homes in my neighborhood. Dane's market knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for his clients were evident throughout the entire transaction. He consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine investment in my success, making what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. He is an outstanding realtor and a true asset to his clients.”
“Robert went out of his way to accommodate us. We were living in Illinois and saw the houses online. Numerous times he went out and measured different areas and different things for us. I couldn't be more satisfied with Robert. I definitely would not have any problems recommending him. I have bought several houses and no other agent has put forth the effort like Robert.”
“Nick was amazing from start to finish. We were relocating to DFW from out of state, and he went above and beyond to make a very stressful process so much easier for our family. He showed me countless homes, listened to all of my must haves, and really took the time to understand what our family needed. He even showed me different areas around DFW to help us find the right community. Once we found our home, he helped us negotiate a great deal, advocated for us, and made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. His knowledge and connections in the community were invaluable, especially being new to the area. He connected us with contractors and inspectors we could trust and was always there when we needed him. Nick is patient, responsive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients. He went far beyond what I expected from a realtor, and I’m so grateful for everything he did for our family. I would recommend him without a second thought!”
“Justin was great to work with! He was always available and went above and beyond for his clients! He truly has the best interest of his clients. I would highly recommend Justin to anyone looking to purchase a home whether you're a first time homebuyer or buying your fifth home!”
“This was our first home sale and we were overwhelmed and anxious about the whole thing. Martha came in and let us know everything we needed to do to get our home ready, what we needed to focus on, and what was not critical for the sale . She was always available for our MANY questions. We would highly recommend Martha, she was great”
“Kathy was so patient and amazing. She was the first person to guarantee me things regarding a property I was looking to buy. She came through with the guarantee plus more. She is very honest and upfront too. She's easy to work with and will always have your best interest at heart. I would 100% refer everyone to her and I'm looking forward to working with her even more.”
“Very helpful whether in answering your questions or communicating. Was very honest and solid advice moving forward.”
“As a first time homebuyer, Meaghan was the best agent I could have asked for. She is so knowledgeable and made everything so easy. Buying a house was my dream and she made it happen. I couldn't be more grateful for her. From the very first steps of looking at houses, eventually offering, and even through the difficulties stemming from inspections, Meaghan was patient, capable, and competent. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a new home!”
“Amy has been my realtor on two house sales. She is an outstanding realtor always responsive, helpful and works extremely hard to find and work with buyers and buyers agents. She is always couteous and professional with all parties involved in the sale. I believe her property value assessments and superior marketing skills are what sets her apart from other realtors. Her work on my behalf resulted in a much higher sales price than expected on one of my houses, and a faster than expected sales closing on another. I highly recommend Amy as a good to realtor. You will not be disappointed.”
“Buying your first home can be overwhelming, but having someone you completely trust made all the difference!! I've known Shellin since we were young kids, so getting to work with her through such a big milestone felt incredibly full circle. She's patient, honest, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. At no point did we ever feel pressured—she genuinely wanted us to find the right home, not just any home. She walked us through every step, answered every question, and made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting instead. We couldn't be happier with our home, and we're so grateful to have had her in our corner. If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, I can't recommend her enough. Not to mention she knows everything!!!”

She made everything feel simple and stress free, and I always felt like she had my best interests in mind. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, I’m now a proud homeowner. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Very impressed by Kimberly Handley at our initial meeting, professional and really listened to our concerns and provided good direction / suggestions. We strongly believe that the video she had produced and posted on numerous websites is what helped us to get two offers on our home in about three days! Kimberly is easy to work with, she kept us well informed of what to expect during each step of the process, and was very responsive to our questions/concerns.”
“Working with Matt Dees was great, even though I wasnt what you would call the best case scenario, he still managed to help me find a house. He was always responsive and really gave me a lot of options to pick with in my price range. He didn't try to upsell me into something I couldn't afford. Even after the closing, has been very helpful with the few questions I have had.”
“Kristine was very nice and got things done in a timely manner. I was disappointed when a closing cost was added to us when when we were told the closing cost went to the seller and we were the buyer.”
