📊 Houston Housing Market Update – June 2026

The latest numbers from HAR show our local real estate market continues to move in a healthy, balanced direction.

🏡 Here’s what happened in June:
• Home sales increased 3.5% compared to June of last year.
• Pending sales jumped 12.3%, a strong sign that buyer demand remains active.
• The median home price held steady at $345,000, while the average sales price reached a record $455,159.
• Inventory remains healthy at 5.2 months, giving buyers more choices than they’ve had in recent years.
• Homes averaged 52 days on the market, just slightly longer than last year.

What does this mean?

✅ For buyers: More inventory means more options, less pressure, and improved affordability as mortgage rates have eased from a year ago.

✅ For sellers: Buyers are still purchasing homes—but pricing correctly is more important than ever. Well-priced homes continue to attract strong interest and sell.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just wondering what your home may be worth in today’s market, I’d be happy to help you understand what these trends mean for your neighborhood.

I am so happy to see and hear how much those visiting America see how wonderful she truly is! Wanting to buy or lease a home in the greatest country in the world?! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

True. Sellers can also find a thousand realtors offering discounts, promises, and deals, too, but if they’re not going to give 💯 or have the honest conversations with you, that “deal” becomes more of a liability and expense to you.

Today’s market requires skill, consistency, and dedication. You won’t get that from a bargain basement realtor AND your house will sit longer in an already challenging market.

You’re worth more than that!
