What Katy, TX Buyers Should Expect From Home Prices in July 2026
Katy, TXExpect to do your homework. Do not skip the comparison. The median estimated property value sits at $303,040, while new listings came in at a median of $340,450 last month, so the first number you see is not always the number you should anchor to. That gap matters when you are building a budget, because the homes that look appealing at first glance can still land above where the market has been closing.
The latest numbers put the median estimated value at $303,040 , up 1.8% from the previous month and down 4.9% over the previous 12 months. At the same time, new listings came in at a median of $340,450, and active listings were even higher at $354,900, which tells me the asking side still sits above the value marker buyers may be watching.
That gap means buyers need to separate the home they want from the price they can justify. Higher asking prices can still be part of the market, but the smartest move is to use recent closed and active pricing to decide whether a home fits your budget before emotions take over. The right plan keeps you focused.
I would narrow the list early, tour the homes that line up with your budget first, and ask for context on any listing sitting well above the sold median of $318,670. Get your financing in place before you start shopping, compare each home against similar recent pricing, and move quickly when a property makes sense on paper and in person.
