Agents helped sellers list 4,088 properties on the MLS, up 8.1% from the same week in 2025 when 3,781 properties were added.

Texas’ most expensive new listing is a nearly $24 million estate in the Dallas suburb of Westlake.

Leading the charge in the second quarter of the year was the Magnolia/1488 West area in the northwest of the Houston metro.

Buyers contracted on 1,829 listings, down from 2,275 during the same week in 2025. That marked the 10th-straight week of year-over-year declines.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of 628,000 homes topped Wall Street’s estimates. 

“While the improvement in days on market last month is encouraging, the decline in pending sales is also consistent with seasonality,” HomesUSA CEO Ben Caballero explained.

Curb appeal is important to today’s homeowners — that is, they want the exteriors of their homes to appeal to their own preferences and sensibilities rather than those of potential buyers.

Given Texas’ average home size, buyers in the state pay an average price per square foot of $210.

The ZIP code with the biggest year-over-year increase in home sales last quarter was 77461 — the Needville area in Fort Bend County.

The triennial survey of 2,000 American residents from the 50 largest metropolitan areas, the National Association of REALTORS® Community and Transportation Preference Survey, found buyers and residents prefer more housing options and communities designed for easy access.

Sellers added 4,251 properties to the MLS, down 2.8% from the same week in 2025, when 4,373 homes were added to the market.

Nationally, home sales in the 51 metro areas surveyed by REMAX showed measured growth of 8.9% month over month and 7.8% year over year, REMAX said. 

A brand new home in Bunker Hill Village tops the June ranking of the 10 most expensive homes sold in greater Houston.

The annual and monthly declines of 0.3% and 5.4%, respectively, do not fully capture the geographic variability of market performance. 

Closed home sales increased 3.5% year over year, with 8,820 properties sold during the month.

Buyers purchased 2,185 homes, up from 1,988 during the same week a year prior. Meanwhile, pending home sales dropped 14.8%, with 1,823 listings going under contract.
