October 20, 2026Bailey Kemps Nelson Group

Bellaire home sales, October 2026: $1.3 million median sale price over the last 12 months, up 4% from the year before, 195 closed sales and 48 homes for sale. Charts and month-by-month comparisons.

Here is where the Bellaire (Harris County) housing market stands this month, from residential sales recorded in HAR.com (Houston Association of REALTORS®). Every figure is a median or a total for the area; Texas is a non-disclosure state, so we never publish what an individual home sold for. These figures cover ZIP code 77401.

Over the last 12 months, 195 homes closed in Bellaire, down 3.5% from the 12 months before. The median sale price was $1.3 million (up 4% year over year), and the median home sold in 15 days (longer by 7.1% than a year earlier). There are 48 homes for sale right now, about 3 months of inventory at the current pace, which by the common rule of thumb leans toward sellers.
