Homes moved faster in League City Market even with rates above 7%
Rates are high. Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed average at 7.40% on October 8, 2026. That is real money added to a monthly payment. And yet, in League City Market, homes are moving faster than they did a year ago.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted that 31.6% of homes in ZIP 77573 went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is for the three months ending August 31, 2026. It was up 6.5 points from the same months in 2025. Nearly 1 in 3 homes found a buyer fast.
Days on market fell, even as rates climbed
The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market at 36 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 9 days shorter than the same months of 2025. Homes sold for 97.8% of list price on average, up 0.6 points year over year. Prices dipped a little: the median sale price was $399,995, down 4.8% from a year before. Not every number points the same direction.
More listings came to market
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 544 new listings in ZIP 77573 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 13.1% from the same period in 2025. More sellers came to market.

The national picture adds context

The national months of supply reached 4.9 months, the highest level in over ten years, the National Association of Realtors said.
