Are home prices in Hockley going up or down?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
For Hockley, the answer is mostly higher. In 8 of the last 12 months the median sale price was above the same month a year earlier, and in 4 it was below. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 1,513, 13% fewer than the 1,736 in the 12 months before. Monthly medians are noisy in smaller markets, so read the direction over a year, not one month.
Month by month against a year ago
We compare each of the last 12 months with the same month a year earlier. In Hockley, 8 months were higher, 4 were lower and 0 were unchanged. Closed sales over the same 12 months were 1,513, 13% fewer than the 1,736 in the 12 months before. Median price per square foot in August was $158, against $153 in the same month a year before. By quarter, the median sale price was $315,000 for 2026-Q3 against $290,000 for 2025-Q3.
What it means for timing
Direction alone does not tell you when to act. A market that is flat in the middle can still be moving in a price band or a subdivision, and a seller and a buyer are usually looking at different bands. Numbers like these describe the whole of Hockley, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line. If you are thinking about timing a purchase or a sale, talk to us to find the right option for your circumstances.
