Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Polk County is currently tilted toward buyers, with the market gauge firmly in buyer’s market territory. Months of supply sits at 8.3, well above the 5.7 months seen across Texas as a whole. Homes are also spending a median of 100 days on the market, signaling that buyers generally have time to compare options.
Pricing has softened recently, giving buyers a bit more leverage. The typical home value of about $265,000 is down slightly year over year, and the median list price has also slipped compared with last year. Sellers are typically receiving just under 96 percent of their asking price, and only about 8 percent of homes are selling above list, which underscores a more negotiable environment.
Activity levels show a market that is cooler than last year but still moving. Homes sold in September are down nearly 28 percent year over year, and new listings have fallen by a similar margin, yet pending sales are actually up slightly from a year ago, suggesting that motivated buyers are still stepping in when they see the right property. At the same time, active listings are only modestly lower than a year ago, keeping inventory relatively high for shoppers. Whether you are a buyer navigating these favorable conditions or a seller aiming to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands how to succeed in today’s Polk County market.
Learn more about what Polk County has to offer.
Polk County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community, abundant outdoor recreation, and steady local opportunities that together create a high quality of life.
Polk County stands apart from nearby Houston suburbs and East Texas towns with its deep pine forests, winding waterways, and relaxed small‑town rhythm anchored by Livingston and the communities around Lake Livingston. Residents value a pace that feels rural yet connected, with Livingston serving as the hub for services, schools, and county events.
Outdoor life shapes daily routines here. Lake Livingston State Park offers fishing piers, boat ramps, and wooded trails through towering pines at Lake Livingston State Park. Families gather for sports and festivals at Pedigo Park, while nearby Double Creek Farm hosts seasonal activities that highlight the area’s agricultural roots. Local history comes into focus at the Polk County Memorial Museum in Livingston, and community ties are reinforced through programs at the Livingston Municipal Library.
Daily conveniences are never far away, from local diners in Livingston to lakeside marinas and shops in Onalaska. Commuters appreciate access to larger job centers via US‑59, yet return to quiet neighborhoods, acreage properties, and waterfront homes that reflect Polk County’s distinct sense of place.
Whether you already call Polk County home or are considering a move for more space and outdoor access, the local market rewards good timing and preparation. Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable real estate professional who understands Polk County’s communities and can help both buyers and sellers move confidently.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Lindsey helped me navigate through the buying process, especially as a first-time buyer. She wasn't pushy or anything like that and was responsive to all my questions regarding the home-buying process and related matters such as insurance and inspection. If I am to buy a property again, I would very likely go with Lindsey again. Highly recommended!”

“Great experience. Communication was great. April exceeded my expectations in every way. She did her homework upfront and had several properties for us to view. She was quick to respond to every inquiry we had. She was also very pleasant to deal with throughout the transaction. I will use her again if we have another real estate transaction in the area.”

“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.”

“Manika was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and always made us feel like we were her top priority. She took the time to answer all of our questions and guided us through every step of both buying and selling with confidence and care. When buying our home, Manika went back and forth during negotiations to help us get the right price and never settled for less than what she felt was fair. She also worked late into the evenings to make sure everything was taken care of and that nothing was overlooked. What we appreciated most was how easy she made the entire process. Her communication was excellent, she was honest, detail-oriented, and truly went above and beyond for our family. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend Manika without hesitation to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about her clients.”

“Abbie was such a great help to my daughter and I. We are moving to Texas from Florida and we had so many questions and Abbie helped with every one of them. She was thorough and very on top of things from the very beginning of our relationship. She was very patient and explained everything I was unsure of. I couldn’t have done this without her.”

AMAZING!!!”

“We had an outstanding experience working with the Santana's realty company for both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. What truly set them apart was their ability to go far beyond a typical real estate service—they also stepped in as a general contractor, handling all the preparation work needed to get our old home market-ready. From coordinating repairs and improvements to managing every detail, they took an enormous amount of pressure off of us. The entire process felt seamless and well-organized, which is no small feat when juggling both a sale and a purchase at the same time. They also helped guide modifications for our new home, making the transition even smoother. Their expertise, responsiveness, and willingness to handle the heavy lifting made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly full-service real estate team.”
RE/MAX Northwest, Realtors Inc
“Gracie was amazing to work with. I toured a home with her without being prepared to be in the home buying process. When I decided to buy, she made the process very seamless and easy. I even joked with her saying that the process was easier than buying a car. Overall she was a great agent and will be referring her to my friends and family.”
Keller Williams The Heyl Group
“Herbert Anderson is exceptional. Incredibly sharp, highly responsive, and a master negotiator who truly knows the market inside out. He made the process smooth, fought hard for every dollar, and closed quickly with a better outcome than I expected. Hands down the best broker I’ve worked with.”

When other agents said no your going to Need this this and that to get into a house in Texas Brandon said ok not a problem i can get it done!

“Kathy helped us sell our house. She was very patient with our situation. Through a very complicated divorce, she was extremely helpful with the selling of our home. After a long battle, she held strong through the whole process. Extremely patient and knowledgable about real estate. Will use her in the future.”

“Jay was a dream to work with- very easy to communicate with, listened to exactly what I was needing and looking for, and found me a rental that checks every box I had. I have already had the opportunity to recommend him to a friend, and if I find myself needing Realty services in the future, he will be the first name I think of.”

Doxes Realty, LLC
“Laci is very honest and professional! She went above and beyond taking care of selling our mother's home. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laci. Their dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how she went out of their way to accommodate our viewing schedules and provided honest advice on property values. Laci's communication, negotiation skills, market knowledge, was 5 Stars!”
ГЕА⅃ Broker, LLC
“I couldn’t believe how Dave fought for me in a negotiation dispute over a signed contract on a property I purchased. He put what was right over getting paid quickly. He spoke up and demanded accountability when the seller tried to strong arm the deal. In the end everything turned out very well but I really don’t think it would have if I’d have used another realtor. I will NEVER use another realtor. Knowing he’s got my back on such a large transaction is worth more than anything else I could consider in choosing a representative”
