January 31, 2022

The Houston housing market was on fire in 2021! We are still in what is known as a seller’s market, as there are more buyers looking for a home than there are properties for sale. 

 Here’s a recap of some noteworthy Houston real estate trends in 2021.


  • Median Home Price: $314,000, a rise of 13.3% from 2020.
  • Median Monthly Rent: $1,477.
  • The number of available properties decreased by 13.3% since 2020.

A Forecast to 2022
