October 23, 2026Bailey Kemps Nelson Group

Fort Bend County home sales, October 2026: $415,000 median sale price over the last 12 months, unchanged from the year before, 8,061 closed sales and 3,417 homes for sale. Charts and month-by-month c

Here is where the Fort Bend 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 the cities in our Fort Bend County report (Katy, Fulshear, Sugar Land), not every sale in the county.

Over the last 12 months, 8,061 homes closed in Fort Bend County, down 5.9% from the 12 months before. The median sale price was $415,000 (unchanged year over year), and the median home sold in 28 days (longer by 12% than a year earlier). There are 3,417 homes for sale right now, about 5.1 months of inventory at the current pace, which by the common rule of thumb is a fairly balanced market.
