    [ad_1]

    Nearly all of the top ZIP Codes for greater Houston home sales are in the suburbs and beyond, according to the Q4 2025 ZIP Watch from the Houston Association of REALTORS®.

    The association tracked the top 10 ZIP codes with the greatest year-over-year increases in home sales and found that 77484 — Waller — was the hottest in the entire Houston metro area, with home sales increasing 102.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The typical home there had an average sales price of $310,165 and spent 55 days on the market.

    That ZIP was followed by 77532 (Crosby), where sales increased 79.1% year over year with an average sales price of $260,629; 77521 (Baytown), where sales increased 77.5% with an average sales price of $266,675; and 77554 (the west end of Galveston Island), where sales increased 52% with an average sales price of $784,120. That ZIP was one of only three on HAR’s list with an average sales price greater than the Houston metro average, reported by the association as $425,535 for the fourth quarter.

    Also on HAR’s list were 77551 (Galveston), 77065 (northwest Houston/Jersey Village), 77578 (Manvel), 77510 (Santa Fe), 77336 (Huffman) and 77316 (Montgomery).

  • Home sales leap 198% in Houston’s hottest community – Houston Agent Magazine

    [ad_1]

    Home sales increased by 198% year over year in Brookshire during the fourth quarter of 2025 — making it the hottest community in the Houston area, according to the quarterly report from the Houston Association of REALTORS®.

    Homebuyers purchased 227 Brookshire homes during the last three months of 2025, with new construction making up nearly half of those transactions. The Waller County community had an average home price of $304,980, down 11.5% year over year and about $120,000 cheaper than the average Houston home price of $425,535 (as well as $30,000 cheaper than the Houston median of $335,000).

    The second-hottest community was Waller, which had previously been the hottest Houston community for three quarters in a row. Home sales increased 103% year over year and had an average sales price of $310,102. The third-hottest was the Crosby area, where sales increased 81.7% year over year and had an average price of $254,458.

    Eight of the top 10 hottest communities in the Houston area had home prices below the Houston average, with six offering prices below the median, including No. 5 Baytown/Harris County ($253,783), No. 6 1960/Cypress ($316,590) and No. 10 West of the Brazos ($268,963).

    The only communities on the list that were more expensive than average were No. 4 West End, which had an average sales price of $769,938, and No. 8 Friendswood, which had an average sales price of $537,081. Transactions increased annually by 50% and 37.1%, respectively.

    “Buyers across all corners of the Houston area are responding to opportunity,” said HAR Chair Theresa Hill. “As mortgage rates edge down, communities offering new construction, buyer incentives and more affordable pricing are well positioned to continue attracting prospective homebuyers.”
