Community Guide
Living in Katy, Texas
Katy is the I-10 and Grand Parkway corridor west of Houston, and its addresses span Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties under one ISD. Sunterra, Elyson and Cinco Ranch head the subdivision counts, and master-planned communities set the pattern for most of the inventory.
Get to know Katy
Welcome to Katy
Katy ISD serves nearly every address. The largest price band is $300K–$500K, about a third of listings are new construction, and most subdivisions carry an HOA.
FEMA special flood hazard areas touch only a small share of the current listings. Nearly every listing sits on a standard subdivision lot of under a quarter acre. New construction is a substantial minority of the listings — roughly a quarter to a third — and the rest is resale, with a median build year in the 2010s. Prices, inventory and school data on this page are live from our MLS feed, not a quarterly snapshot.

The Katy real estate market
What the numbers mean
Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.
Katy is a balanced market right now — about 4.8 months of inventory, yet roughly 49% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $349,900, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 90 days.
Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

Homes-for-sale counts are live from the AWS MLS feed (active & pending, residential), matched to each school by its zoned-school name. The shaded areas are high-school attendance zones — the only attendance boundaries published for this district.
Ratings = 2025 Texas Education Agency accountability grades (A–F). Newer campuses may be unrated.

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.
Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.
Search with the flood filterThe honest picture
We surface the real federal flood-claim history for any area you're considering — context, not scare tactics. Risk is very address-specific, and we walk through each home's exact exposure with you before you ever make an offer.

Neighborhoods & communities
Katy isn't one market
it's dozens
Katy spans 143+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.
Layered communities: in Katy, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).
143 of 143 communities
How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Katy, residential for-sale only. 143 communities with 3+ active listings shown.
The AI advantage
AI Certified Agent™ 2.0
Allen pairs real MLS data with AI to price sharper, market smarter, and move at the speed real estate rewards — built on systems he engineered himself, in-house.

Selling with AI
AI helps us pinpoint your most likely buyer, speak their language, and reach more qualified buyers. The moment someone inquires on your home we respond fast and follow up relentlessly — so your home stays top of mind until it sells.
One integrated system, not ten
Most agents rent a dozen disconnected tools. Allen built his own end-to-end system in-house — the website, the live property search, the client database, the follow-up and the marketing, all under one roof. It's why everything just works together.
