Houston's Real Estate Market Is Still Balanced Despite Higher Mortgage Rates
Even with higher mortgage rates, Houston’s real estate market remains balanced—something I continue to see every day as a local residential specialist. We’re currently working with 5.3 months of inventory, and prices have adjusted down about 20%, which means buyers have more room to negotiate and focus on what matters most: securing a comfortable monthly payment. Homes are averaging 59 days on the market, so competitive pricing is key for sellers aiming for a successful transaction. What stands out to me is Houston’s ongoing affordability and robust job growth, making it an attractive city for both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re exploring financing, appraisals, or simply navigating your next move, understanding these market trends is essential.
