Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Walker 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).
Walker County currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge sitting at 58 and labeled a buyer's market. Months of supply is at 5.3, close to the statewide 5.4 months, suggesting a fairly balanced backdrop. However, local pricing and activity patterns tilt conditions slightly in favor of buyers.
Typical home values are about $276,000, noticeably below the Texas median of roughly $338,000, which can make the area more approachable for budget-conscious buyers. Even with that affordability, sellers have seen some recent price momentum, as the typical home value is up a few percent month over month and list prices are running over 9 percent higher than a year ago. At the same time, inventory has edged down about 4 percent year over year, while new listings have fallen more sharply, down nearly 21 percent compared with last April.
Sales activity shows a mixed picture, with homes sold up strongly from last month but still down almost 12 percent from a year ago. Homes are taking a median of 70 days to sell, and months of supply is up more than 40 percent year over year, giving buyers more time and options while sellers face stiffer competition. A growing share of homes, about 11 percent, is selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio has inched up to just over 97 percent, so realistically priced homes can still perform well. Whether you are a buyer navigating these shifting conditions or a seller trying to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Walker County agent who understands this market.

“We had one day to come into town to find a home. Kim lined up all the homesthat matched our requirement prior to our visit to go through and narrow down. The day of the trip, Kim had all the house appointments lined up and within 4 hours we had found our home. We would highly recommend Kim and if we ever need to sell or buy again in the Houston area we will use here again.”
