Local home value data · Houston, TX
What's my home worth in Houston, TX?
Houston is one of the most affordable large cities in the country, and right now that affordability is improving a little further: prices have slipped and homes are taking somewhat longer to sell.
Is Houston a buyer's or seller's market?
Leaning buyer's. Redfin rates Houston 48/100 (not very competitive), based on how quickly homes sell, how often they get multiple offers, and how close they sell to list price.
What this means if you're selling in Houston
A median sale price of $350,000, down 2.8% year-over-year, suggests a mild cooling. Homes average about 45 days on market compared with 42 a year ago and draw roughly one offer, so buyers have more room to negotiate than they did last year, and sellers should price carefully against recent sales.
How Houston compares
Houston's median sale price sits 14% below the U.S. median.
