Closed sales by price band
Closed sales by price band over the 12 months to August 2026: Under $250K: 7,225 (31%); $250K to $500K: 10,345 (45%); $500K to $1M: 3,661 (16%); $1M+: 1,994 (9%).
Why the band matters
Where most sales happen tells you where the most comparable homes are, which usually means the clearest read on price. A home in a thinner band has fewer recent comparables, so its pricing leans on more judgment. Every buyer and seller in Houston is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.
