May 14, 2026Bailey Kemps Nelson Group

Harris County closed home sales for April 2026: 248 closings at a $892,000 median, compared with April 2025, plus the $750K+ and luxury markets and a city-by-city breakdown.

Here is how April 2026 closed for residential sales in Harris County, from sales recorded in HAR.com (Houston Association of REALTORS®), set against April 2025. 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.
