The Katy market, with every number dated and sourced

Market statistics change monthly and differ by source, by metric and by geography, so this page shows the figure, the source, the date and the area for every number it prints, and labels older data as historical. Katy prices trended up to a 2022 peak, softened through 2023-2025, and have been stabilizing in 2026. Nothing here is invented, and nothing here replaces a current, address-specific CMA.

The trend story

2022 peak, 2023-2025 softness, 2026 stabilization

Katy-area prices peaked near the $400,000+ range in 2022, then softened through 2023 and 2024 as interest rates rose. By late 2025, HAR's Katy updates showed medians in the $349,000-$351,000 range, roughly 9% lower year over year at times, with broader inventory across the region.

Through 2026, public reports describe a stabilizing market: brokers' mid-2026 updates place Katy medians around $350,000-$385,000 depending on the source and metric, with inventory at multi-year highs. Neighborhoods diverge sharply: Cinco Ranch and the lakeside communities carry premiums well above the Katy-wide median, while entry-level and townhome segments see the most price competition.

The practical takeaway: Katy remains a buyer-friendlier market than it was in 2021 and 2022, but the right comps come from your exact neighborhood, phase and school zone, not from a city-wide median. That is exactly what a current comparative market analysis provides.
