February was a record-setting month for Greater Houston’s housing market, as home prices surged 13.4% year over year to reach an all-time high for the area. Despite this, single-family home sales totaled 7,372 last month, a 22.9% jump from the previous year, according to the Houston Association of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service.
Houston’s luxury market (homes priced above $1 million) also saw higher-than-normal activity in February, with 33.5% more sales than during the same month in 2021.
The most-expensive home removed from Houston’s luxury market last month was an 11,108-square-foot single-family home in the River Oaks Tall Timbers subdivision. The agent who sold the property, which listed for $7,950,000, was Terry Stanfield of BHGRE Gary Greene.
