January 14, 2026Bailey Kemps Nelson Group

Harris County closed home sales for December 2025: 247 closings at a $800,000 median, compared with December 2024, plus the $750K+ and luxury markets and a city-by-city breakdown.

Here is how December 2025 closed for residential sales in Harris County, from sales recorded in HAR.com (Houston Association of REALTORS®), set against December 2024. Figures are totals and medians for the area. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so we never publish what an individual home sold for. They cover the cities in our Harris County report (Houston, West University Place, Bellaire, Hunters Creek Village, Bunker Hill Village), not every sale in the county.
