What is the median home price in Baytown?
Built from Allen Markel's own listing data · Texas Premier Realty ·
Short answer
Homes that sold in Baytown over the last six months had a median sale price of $270,000, about $146 per square foot, on 707 closed sales. Over the 12 months to August 2026, the monthly median ran from $247,000 in September to $283,490 in June. A median is the middle sale, so half of the homes sold for more and half for less.
What the median sale price is
The headline figure is the median sale price of the 707 homes that closed in Baytown in the last six months: $270,000. The 12 monthly medians to August 2026 ranged from $247,000 to $283,490, and the most recent full month (August) came in at $257,520. On median sale price, Baytown is among the lower-priced (ranked 33 of 39 communities with enough sales to compare). The median moves with the mix of homes that happen to close in a month, so one month says less than the six-month view.
How to use it
Homes for sale now are spread across price bands, with the largest group in the Under $300K range (389 of 622 active listings). A buyer comparing a listing with the median should compare against its own band and size, and a seller should price against the newest closings nearby, not the citywide middle. Numbers like these describe the whole of Baytown, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.
