Recorded home market data for Texas
Across the 92 Texas cities we cover, the median of the typical home values was $312,255 in July 2026. The spread inside the state is wide: the typical home in Port Arthur was $125,021 and in Frisco it was $649,173, which is why the page for your own city is the one worth reading.
Of the 89 Texas cities with data, 4 saw homes go under contract in 15 days or fewer and 60 took 31 days or more, in July 2026. These historical medians exclude the time from contract to closing and do not establish your sale's timetable.
Values are mostly falling: 65 of the 92 Texas cities with a year-over-year figure went down, 24 went up. Past changes do not predict the price available for your property later. Compare current proposals and your costs of waiting.
Figures come from Zillow's public research data and describe whole cities, not individual houses.

Where to start: closing in Texas
A customary closing role does not establish whether an attorney is required for your sale. Confirm who may handle settlement and which tasks need legal advice with a licensed local professional. The practical points to discuss:
- Title companies conduct closings, and title insurance rates are set by the state rather than by the company.
- Texas has no real estate transfer tax.
- The seller's disclosure notice is required by statute for most residential sales.
- Texas is a community property state with strong homestead protections: both spouses must sign to sell a homestead, whoever is on the deed.
- Property taxes are high and billed in arrears, so the tax proration at closing is a larger number than in most states.

Selling a house in Texas: common questions
How fast can I sell my house in Texas?
The median Texas city on our list recorded 37 days to go under contract in July 2026. This excludes time to closing. Your timetable depends on finding a buyer, title, inspections and written conditions. A cash offer does not guarantee a closing date.
Do I need an attorney to sell a house in Texas?
A customary closing role does not establish whether an attorney is required for your sale in Texas. Confirm the requirements for settlement, document preparation and legal advice with a licensed local professional before signing. Ask who represents your interests and review the proposed fees. A settlement agent is not necessarily your own attorney.
Is there a transfer tax when I sell a house in Texas?
Check the current state and local rules for your property in Texas, including any exemptions. Ask a licensed local professional to identify applicable transfer taxes, recording charges and who is legally responsible, then review the itemized closing statement and written terms. This is general information, not tax advice.
