What the median sale price is
The headline figure is the median sale price of the 260 homes that closed in La Porte in the last six months: $280,000. The 12 monthly medians to August 2026 ranged from $240,000 to $285,100, and the most recent full month (August) came in at $265,000. On median sale price, La Porte is among the lower-priced (ranked 31 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 (80 of 134 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. Every buyer and seller in La Porte is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.
