August 2025 Real Estate Market Update: Bay Area Houston & Surrounding Cities

Let’s dive into the August 2025 real estate numbers and see what’s happening across the region. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or just watching the market, this update covers key insights for League City, Dickinson, Friendswood, Pearland, Deer Park, and La Porte — plus a look into top-performing neighborhoods.

League City Real Estate Market Trends – August 2025

• Average Sold Price: $405,000

• Month-over-Month Change: Down 6%

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 96.2%

• Average Days on Market: 38 days

League City saw a dip in average sold price compared to July, but this is largely due to the wide range of home values in the area. With homes selling anywhere from $275K to over $1M, a few high- or low-priced deals can easily shift the averages. Sellers: pricing within 5% of market value will get better results faster. Buyers: this could be your opportunity.

Dickinson Real Estate Market – Steady Growth

• Average Sold Price: $305,500

• Month-over-Month Change: 4.44%

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 98.7%

• Average Days on Market: 47 days

Dickinson is showing signs of healthy appreciation, but longer days on market suggest it’s taking time to connect the right buyer with the right home. Homes are priced well — it’s just a more patient market.

Friendswood Real Estate Market – A Hot Summer Wrap-Up

• Average Sold Price: $470,000

• Month-over-Month Change: -14.55%

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 98.1%

• Average Days on Market: 26 days

Friendswood continues to perform well with low days on market and high close-to-list prices. The drop in average sold price likely reflects more modestly priced homes selling in August compared to July’s higher-end transactions. Still, this is a strong seller’s market.

Pearland Real Estate – A Balanced, Stable Market

• Average Sold Price: $375,000

• Month-over-Month Change: No change

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 97.9%

• Average Days on Market: 30 days

Pearland remains stable with no change in average price month-over-month. This is a fair, balanced market. Sellers can expect offers close to list price, and buyers can negotiate small savings. A good time for both sides to make a move.

Deer Park Market Snapshot – Holding Strong

• Average Sold Price: $280,000

• Month-over-Month Change: -1.75%

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 99.2%

• Average Days on Market: 32 days

Deer Park remains tight and competitive. Homes are closing almost at full asking price, and turnover is brisk. This market is healthy and efficient — ideal for motivated sellers and ready buyers.

La Porte Real Estate – Fast and Balanced

• Average Sold Price: $265,000

• Month-over-Month Change: Down 3.64%

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 97.1%

• Average Days on Market: 19 days

La Porte is one of the fastest-moving markets in the Bay Area. Homes are selling in under three weeks. Despite a slight price dip, this is a very active and balanced market.

Interest Rates Are Dropping – What It Means for You

While not a mortgage lender, I can say that rates are trending into the 5% range, with buyers securing rates in the 4s through buydowns. This change is sparking increased buyer activity. If you’ve been waiting for lower rates, the window may be opening now. Is the Houston Bay Area Real Estate Market Crashing?

Absolutely not. The data tells us that the market is balancing — not collapsing. Seasonal price drops and longer days on market are normal for this time of year. Smart buyers are taking advantage of current conditions, and sellers can position themselves for success with proper pricing.

If someone tells you the market is crashing, point them to local data — not national headlines. This market is showing clear signs of improvement.
