The Greater Houston market is showing healthy signs of stabilisation heading into spring 2026. Single-family home sales rose 3.7% year-over-year in March, with 7,644 homes sold -- and pending sales jumped 12.8%, pointing to strong buyer activity in the weeks ahead. Prices have eased slightly, with the median down 1.5% to $330,000, creating a window of opportunity for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines.
For sellers, the extended days on market (now 67 days vs 62 last year) means pricing correctly from day one is more critical than ever. Overpriced homes are sitting. Well-priced, well-presented homes are still moving. For buyers, more inventory and more time means more negotiating power -- particularly in the $300K-$450K range where competition has cooled most noticeably.
