Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Houston are averaging approximately 6.30% to 6.49%, which reflects the prevailing market environment for property owners in this area as of May 2026.
Note: Interest rate comparisons provide market context. The existing "Interest Rate Pressure" metric above shows the qualitative market impact.
Key Findings
-
The neighborhood's representative recent sale level is $270,874 median sold price, which should be treated as the primary indicator of current market value and, given broader signals, appears to reflect price softening (down on a year‑over‑year basis).
-
There is a notable pricing juxtaposition between the $210,245 median listing price and the $270,874 median sold price, which may indicate pricing friction and divergent seller expectations versus recent transaction prices in the sample.
-
Market liquidity shows signs of slowing: the median days on market 297 is lengthy and, combined with elevated inventory relative to sales activity in the analyzed sample, suggests slower transaction velocity rather than rapid turnover.
-
Rental and financing context: the $1,650 median market rent is present while rent trends are down, and interest rate pressure is moderate with current 30‑year fixed mortgage rates in Houston averaging approximately 6.30% to 6.49%, which may weigh on buyer affordability and near‑term demand.

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Key Findings
-
median sold price is the primary indicator of market value and recent transaction activity, but the median sold price is not available in the provided metrics, so recent transaction pricing must be inferred from listing-level and trend indicators; use caution interpreting asking prices as realized value.
-
median listing price 129,000 sits alongside elevated inventory relative to sales in the analyzed sample and the year-over-year price trend is down, which together may indicate pricing pressure and increased negotiation room for buyers.
-
median days on market 334 is materially long and, taken with elevated inventory descriptions, suggests slower sales velocity and greater holding time for sellers; slower transaction volume may persist until realized demand increases.
-
median market rent 1,495 is paired with a rent year-over-year trend that is down, while interest rate pressure is reported as moderate and current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Houston are described as averaging approximately 6.30% to 6.49%, all of which may temper investor appetite and limit near-term upside for both rents and prices.
