The Greater Houston housing market is heading into summer with encouraging signs of buyer activity.

According to the May 2026 Housing Market Update from the Houston Association of Realtors, pending sales of single-family homes reached their highest level in four years.

Here’s a quick look at the latest numbers:

🏡 Pending single-family home sales: 9,172, up 5.8%
🏡 Active listings: 57,592, up 0.7%
🏡 Average home price: $447,301, up 2.3%
🏡 Median home price: $340,000, remaining essentially unchanged
🏡 Luxury home sales of $1 million and above: up 10.1%

While closings dipped slightly compared to last year, more buyers are signing contracts and moving forward with their plans.

With more choices available and inventory beginning to stabilize, this summer could be a good time to explore your options — whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply keeping an eye on the market.

Home is shaped by the everyday moments that happen inside it.

It is the morning coffee, the familiar routines, the quick conversations in the kitchen, and the evenings spent unwinding after a long day.

Those ordinary moments are often the ones that make a space feel most meaningful over time.

What is one everyday moment that makes your house feel like home?

June Home Resource: Summer Cooling Check

Before the hottest part of summer settles in, give your home a quick cooling check.

A few simple things to look at this month:

☀️ Replace your air filters
☀️ Make sure vents are open and not blocked by furniture
☀️ Clear leaves or debris around your outdoor AC unit
☀️ Close blinds during the hottest part of the day

Little maintenance habits can make a big difference when the Texas heat shows up.

Save this one for your June home checklist!

Home is more than the walls around you.

It’s where routines take shape, milestones are celebrated, and the little in-between moments become part of your story.

Whether you’re settling in, growing into a new season, or dreaming about what’s next, the right home should support the life you’re building.

Landlord problems? 😅 Not saying it’s a sign… but if you’re tired of “we’ll get to it eventually,” it might be time to look at what buying could look like for you.
