The citywide median price does not describe every part of the Houston market. Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) also reports single-family sales by price range, which shows where most of the activity happens and how different segments are moving.
Single-family sales by price range, July 2026

| $100,000 to $149,999 | 170 | down 11.5% |
| $150,000 to $249,999 | 1,414 | down 0.7% |

What stands out
- The middle of the market carries the volume. By our calculation, homes from $250,000 to $499,999 made up about 56% of July’s single-family sales.
- Homes at $500,000 and above were about 24% of sales (1,967 of 8,340), by our calculation.
- The $1 million and above segment grew fastest among the price ranges in July, up 9.4% from a year earlier.
- Lower price ranges were mixed, with the $100,000 to $149,999 range down 11.5%.
A closer look at $1 million and above
Houston’s luxury segment is about 5% of single-family sales by our calculation (407 of 8,340 in July), so small changes in the number of sales can produce large percentage swings. HAR’s June 2026 report showed 527 single-family sales at $1 million and above, up 17.1% from June 2025. July’s 407 sales were up 9.4%. Counts differ between months because activity rises and falls seasonally, so the year-over-year changes are the better comparison.
Luxury sellers and buyers typically look at neighborhood, property type and presentation more than citywide statistics. Visit our Luxury page to learn how Memorial agents approach this segment.
How to use this information
- Buyers: look at your own price range rather than the citywide median to understand competition.
- Sellers: ask your agent for recent sales of similar homes nearby, since price range, location and condition all matter.
