2024 Harris County Real Estate Market: Year in Review

As we ring in the New Year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the trends and milestones that shaped the Harris County real estate market in 2024. This past year brought its own unique challenges and opportunities, and we’re excited to share the highlights with you.

Market Overview

The 2024 real estate market in Harris County was marked by steady activity, reflecting resilience in the face of broader economic uncertainties. Key performance indicators, such as the total number of homes sold, median sales prices, days on market, and price per square foot, offer a snapshot of how our local market performed over the year.

Highlights of 2024- Existing homes Sales

1. Homes Sold: A strong indicator of market activity, the total number of homes sold in Harris County demonstrated consistent demand throughout the year. While the spring and summer months saw the usual uptick in activity, the fall market also remained surprisingly robust.
2. Median Sales Price: Despite fluctuating interest rates, Harris County continued to show growth in property values. The median sales price for 2024 reflects the desirability of our area as a place to live, work, and invest.
3. Days on Market: Efficient market conditions allowed homes to move relatively quickly. This metric underscores the importance of strategic pricing and expert marketing—both of which we prioritize at 1827 Real Estate.
4. Price per Square Foot: A key measure of value, the price per square foot offered insight into buyer preferences and the quality of homes in the area. This figure remained competitive, particularly for homes with updated amenities and larger acreage.

Key Trends We Observed

• Increased Interest in Land Sales: With Harris County’s mix of rural charm and development potential, there was significant interest in properties with acreage. At 1827 Real Estate, we’ve seen firsthand how buyers value the flexibility that larger tracts of land offer, whether for custom builds or recreational use.
• Emphasis on Move-In Ready Homes: Buyers are leaning toward updated, move-in-ready homes, particularly those featuring modern kitchens and energy-efficient upgrades.
• Competitive Pricing Matters: Sellers who positioned their homes competitively within the market saw faster sales and fewer price reductions. Strategic pricing was crucial in maintaining buyer interest amidst changing market conditions.
