Executive Overview

As of February 2026, the real estate market in Houston, TX (ZIP: 77080) reflects a median sold price of $392,236.50, indicating a shift in market dynamics. This represents a decrease in home values, aligning with broader trends observed in the area. The market appears to be experiencing slower sales velocity, as evidenced by the 147 days on market, suggesting that properties are taking longer to sell amid elevated inventory levels.

The current market conditions are characterized by elevated inventory relative to sales activity, which may indicate a more balanced environment. The median listing price stands at $422,500, creating a notable gap between asking prices and actual sold prices. This pricing friction could suggest that sellers may need to adjust their expectations to align more closely with the current market reality, especially as interest rates remain elevated, influencing buyer behavior and overall market liquidity.
