What’s Happening & What It Means for You

Spring is usually a hot season for Houston real estate, but this April is all about cooling prices, rising inventory, and shifting leverage.

📊 Market Highlights:

  • Median Price: $339,990 (unchanged YoY)

  • Closed Sales: 7,884 ▼ 2.0%

  • Active Listings: 35,468 ▲ 38.6%

  • Inventory: 4.9 months ▲ 1.4 YoY

  • Days on Market: 53 (5 more than last year)

  • Days to Close: 33

  • Total Days from List to Close: 86

🧭 What It Means:

👉 For Buyers:
Inventory is booming — nearly 39% more homes are on the market compared to last year. That means less pressure to rush and more negotiating power. With prices flat and sellers adjusting expectations, this is a great time to shop smart.

👉 For Sellers:
Homes are taking longer to sell, and buyers have options. Pricing right from the start is more important than ever — and a professional presentation could make all the difference. Homes are closing at 94.9% of original list price, so avoid overpricing.
