Here is where the West University Place (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 77005.

Over the last 12 months, 104 homes closed in West University Place, down 8% from the 12 months before. The median sale price was $1.95 million (up 8.4% year over year), and the median home sold in 7 days (unchanged than a year earlier). There are 21 homes for sale right now, about 2.4 months of inventory at the current pace, which by the common rule of thumb leans toward sellers.
