Katy & Fulshear Housing Market Update – First Half of 2025

The first half of 2025 is showing signs of a market shift across Katy, Fulshear, Weston Lakes, and the surrounding master-planned communities. Buyers have more homes to choose from, while sellers are adjusting to a market that’s no longer as frenzied as it was during the pandemic boom.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in neighborhoods like Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Firethorne, Weston Lakes, or Cinco Ranch, here’s what the latest data is telling us.

Key Market Data – January through June 2025

• Home Sales: Down 7.6% compared to the same period in 2024.

• Median Sales Price: Up 1.4% to $340,000.

• Days on Market: Homes are averaging 52 days on the market (up from 43 days last year).

• Active Listings: Inventory has jumped 33.7% year-over-year.

• Months of Inventory: Increased to 4.4 months (up from 3.2 months in 2024).

What This Means for Buyers

If you’ve been waiting to make a move in Katy ISD or Lamar CISD neighborhoods, 2025 could be your year. With inventory up more than 30%, buyers finally have more choices and better negotiating power.

• More Homes to Compare: Communities like Jordan Ranch, Tamarron, and Weston Lakes now have a wider range of homes available.

• Room to Negotiate: Sellers are more willing to offer concessions or adjust pricing, especially on homes that have been on the market for a while.

• A Slower Pace: Gone are the days of rushing to make an offer the moment a listing hits the market. Buyers can take their time to find the right home.

What This Means for Sellers

While the market is still healthy, sellers in Katy and Fulshear need to be strategic with pricing and marketing to attract buyers.

• Price It Right: Homes that are priced competitively are still selling quickly. Overpriced homes, even in sought-after communities like Cross Creek Ranch or Firethorne, tend to sit.

• Stand Out: With more homes hitting the market, professional photography, staging, and strong online marketing are essential.

• Be Patient: The average days on market has climbed to over 7 weeks. That’s still a solid pace historically, but it requires realistic expectations.

The Bigger Picture

The Houston area housing market—including Katy, Fulshear, and Weston Lakes—isn’t slowing down; it’s normalizing. After years of rapid price growth and bidding wars, the market is finding balance between supply and demand.

For buyers, this means less competition and more choices. For sellers, it’s still a great time to sell—as long as your home is priced right and marketed effectively.
