As of August 2026, the North Houston real estate market has reached a balanced equilibrium with a 5.2-month supply of inventory, the highest level in several years. Median sale prices have stabilized at $350,000, reflecting a modest 1.5% year-over-year increase, while homes are spending an average of 54 days on the market. This shift away from a seller-dominated environment is driven by a 2.1% rise in active listings and a cooling in buyer urgency despite resilient employment growth in the local energy and healthcare sectors.
