How to read it

New listings against contracts is a quick read on whether supply is building or being absorbed. It moves week to week and by price band, so treat it as a snapshot, not a trend. Every buyer and seller in Katy is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.

Common follow-up questions

What does under contract mean?

The seller has accepted an offer and the sale has not closed yet.

Why do the 7-day and 30-day numbers differ so much?

They cover different windows; a week can be unusually busy or slow, so the 30-day view is steadier.
