Katy's 77494 zip code has emerged as one of Houston's most active markets — and one of the most favorable for buyers. HUT's real-time data paints a clear picture: sellers are adjusting, and smart buyers are capitalizing.

- Median list price: $385,000

What's Driving the Corrections?
Katy saw aggressive new construction pricing through 2024–2025. Builders have largely sold through inventory, but resale sellers who listed at peak-era prices are now competing against newer builds at lower per-square-foot costs. The result: motivated repricing.
Where the Deals Are
HUT's deal-readiness scoring shows the strongest negotiation leverage in the $350K–$450K range, where DOM averages 52 days and 38% of listings have had at least one price reduction. Properties near Grand Parkway and I-10 corridors show the steepest drops.
