Katy, TX Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Katy, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Katy sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 229
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $405,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $178
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $316,900 and $554,445

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 229 closed sales in Katy over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $405,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $316,900 and $554,445. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 100% of the Katy closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 229 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $167 and $195 per square foot.

Where Katy sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Katy over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $316,900 and $554,445. Among the 127 Texas markets with a published band, Katy's middle-half spread ($316,900 to $554,445) ranks 103rd from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

• •Contract to closing: a median of 29 days, across 34 Katy closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months

The Katy angle

Katy's closed sales fall in a band close to typical for the markets we track and a touch tighter than the middle of our coverage, so the citywide median earns some trust. Across 229 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median closed sale price was $405,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $316,900 and $554,445. The band is lopsided, with much more distance between the median and the upper quartile than between the median and the lower quartile, so ordinary properties bunch nearer the bottom of the middle half in price terms.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Texas: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Texas homes, and most Texas estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Texas one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Katy address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Katy over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Katy city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 17% of the 229 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $436,050.
