Key Insights by Property Type

1. Single-Family Homes: Strong Seller’s Market

• 77027: Median List Price of $1,860,000 with a median DOM of 14.5 days and CDOM of 17.5 days.

• 77019: Median List Price of $1,865,000 with a median DOM of 19 days and CDOM of 29 days.

• Market Dynamic: Low days on market and minimal gap between DOM and CDOM indicate high buyer demand, swift absorption rates, and minimal need for relisting or major price drops. Sellers maintain strong leverage in negotiations for single-family detached properties.

2. Townhouses & Low-Rise Condos: Balanced Market

• 77027: Median List Price of $149,000 with 19 DOM and a higher CDOM of 124 days.

• 77019: Median List Price of $390,000 with 16 DOM and 29 CDOM.

• Market Dynamic: Properties under $500k sell quickly when priced appropriately, but extended cumulative days on market in 77027 indicate that sub-segment properties often require price adjustments or relisting before finding buyers.

3. Mid/High-Rise Condos: Firm Buyer’s Market

• 77027: Median List Price of $549,000 with a median DOM of 134 days.

• 77019: Median List Price of $1,395,000 with a median DOM of 104 days and CDOM of 230 days.

• Market Dynamic: Significantly elevated marketing times give buyers substantial negotiating power, room to request concessions, and leverage for below-asking offers.

Price Tier Dynamics

• Entry to Mid Tiers (<$1.5M): Properties move rapidly, averaging 11 to 23 days on market. Buyers in this bracket face stronger competition.

• Luxury Tier ($1.5M–$3M): Remains relatively active with a median CDOM under 45 days in both ZIP codes.

• Ultra-Luxury Tier (>$3M+): Higher median list prices (up to $15.5M in 77019) experience standard luxury absorption pacing (29–40 DOM), maintaining stable values with selective buyer pools.

Market Verdict

• Single-Family Segment: Seller’s Market. Low inventory and high buyer demand drive quick sales within 2–3 weeks of listing.

• Condominium & High-Rise Segment: Buyer’s Market. High days on market (100–230+ CDOM) provide buyers with ample selection, negotiation leverage, and pricing flexibility.
